- This is a research monograph of 280 pages. The book focuses on very contemporary British plays of the new millennium in the context of political and social debates around neoliberalism, social crisis and citizenship, and includes primary research material from Angelaki's interviews with playwrights about their work. Critical issues and methodologies are tested through close analyses of individual plays, placing these in the contexts of their performance history and in historical traditions of British playwriting.
