- This project represents a three and a half-year period (2014-2017) of preparation, research and writing, resulting in a monograph of 233 pages and 73,500 words. It develops a complex conceptual and methodological framework based around the notion of precarity as ecology in post-1990s theatre in the UK, which cuts across various practices, themes and aesthetics. It examines in depth a comprehensive selection of theatre from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives such as affect, climate change, children at risk, human rights, debt, class and abjection and shows how precarity becomes a ‘sticky trope’ that harnesses practices of responsibility and care.
