Cool Britannia? Avis

'This is an impressive collection by some of the best critics in the field. Each contribution is in dialogue with the subject matter and each other, providing salient observations about British 'Rough theatre' in an age of bodily mutilation...A superb reader for students studying the plays and playwrights of this volatile era.' - David Krasner, Yale University, USA 'This volume on British political drama in the 1990s is a welcome addition to the scholarship on the period' - Aoife Monks, Contemporary Theatre Review
