- Extensive theoretical chapters and preface contextualise four annotated play texts, curating thirty years’ praxis (1991 - 2020): Augustine (Big Hysteria), first published in 1993, preceded my academic career; Sea/Woman has been substantially updated; Gorgeous appears with new contextualizing material; Shocks is a recent new work. Routledge commissioned the unusual format of this monograph to capture my work as playwright, director, dramaturg and theorist. It results from scholarly, archival and creative research across the history of medicine, psychoanalysis, feminist and cultural theories, that have translated into and emerged from original productions widely performed internationally and in the UK.
