- The monograph is the first and only extended, in depth and sustained examination of the work of Scottish playwright Anthony Neilson, and its highly distinctive formal and thematic preoccupations. It provides analysis of a large body of original plays, sixteen in total, from Normal (1991) to Unreachable (2016) and includes detailed accounts of seven unpublished play-texts which were accessed via lengthy negotiation with the playwright. The significant insights provided by the study were dependent on a decade-long investigation of the plays themselves, their critical contexts, and their frequently mixed reception in the public sphere.
