1. In Yer Face Theatre
British Drama Today
A critical study of 1990s British drama that charts the rise of a confrontational movement defined by explicit language, onstage violence, and taboo-breaking themes designed to jolt audiences. Through case studies and interviews, it examines the aesthetic strategies, cultural context, controversies, and audience reactions that shaped this wave of theatre, and assesses its lasting impact on playwriting and performance.
