A collection of incisive investigations into the ways that 21st-century British theatre works with - and through - crisis. It pays particular attention to the way in which writers and practitioners consider the ethical and social challenges of crisis. Anchored in an interdisciplinary approach that draws from sociology, cultural theory, feminism, performance and philosophy, the book brings multi-faceted ideas into dialogue with the diverse aesthetics, practices and themes of a range of theatrical work produced in Britain since 2005.<b>Topics discussed include:</b>AgeingAusterityGenderMigrancyMulticulturalismAesthetics<b>Companies discussed include: </b>Theatre UncutLost DogCamden People''s PeopleLungBrighton People''s Theatre Phosphoros Theatre <b>Playwrights discussed include: </b>Jez Butterworth Caryl Churchill Tim Crouch Vivienne Franzmann James Graham debbie tucker green Ella Hickson Charlene James Lucy Kirkwood Simon Longman Cordelia Lynn Simon Stephens Jack Thorne Chris Thorpe Glo
