- debbie tucker green: Critical Perspectives explores how tucker green’s innovative works for stage, television and radio contribute to contemporary discourses regarding race, gender and identity while simultaneously reframing broader debates around contemporary drama and its politics. The research was motivated by the question of how to situate tucker green’s work within traditions of black (women’s) playwriting while also accommodating approaches that move outside of these parameters to engage with issues of neoliberalism, precarity and community and their aesthetic mediation in contemporary theatrical forms. This research enquiry—a dialogue between explorations of race/identity and approaches that recognise and reflect other aspects of tucker green’s writing—acknowledges, augments, and diversifies existing critical frameworks advanced by short-form scholarship, and underpins both the curation of chapters within this first full-length study of tucker green’s corpus, and the substantive introduction jointly authored by the editors. The volume establishes tucker green as one of the UK’s most significant contemporary playwrights, and articulates the wider importance of her drama for theatre studies, contemporary feminisms, critical race studies and political critique more broadly. The editors commissioned proposals from a range of international early-/mid-career and established scholars, and selected a collection that would recognize multiple disciplinary fields (Theatre and Performance Studies, Musicology, Human Rights Law, Philosophy) and reflect a variety of research specialisms (including black women’s writing, trans-Atlantic diaspora, musical composition, new play development, voice studies and actor-training). Authors were paired with a lead editor, although both editors engaged in the rigorous development and editing of each chapter, and the full collection was anonymously double-blind peer-reviewed. The book was published by Palgrave in 2020 in hardback and e-book formats and appears on English and Theatre Studies syllabi at HEIs including the Universities of Glasgow, St Andrews, Greenwich, and Barcelona. This submission is double-weighted to reflect Bolton’s extensive contribution.
