Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Since 1660 when actresses first began performing on the English stage, women have forged bright careers in theatre, while men called the shots. Four hundred years of women playwrights, from Aphra Behn to Caryl Churchill, yet plays by women make up less than a quarter of staged productions in the UK, leading to a scarcity of roles for women. With women buying most of the tickets, theatre productions risk losing their relevance to modern culture if they fail to represent the many and varied lives of women.With an overview of post-war theatre and 25 exclusive interviews with leading women theatre-makers, this book inspires us to create a truly equal and inclusive theatre today. Including: Nina Lee Aquino ◉ Sudha Buchar ◉ Moira Buffini ◉ Paule Constable ◉ Denise Gough ◉ Vicky Ireland ◉ Jude Kelly ◉ Bryony Lavery ◉ Katie Mitchell ◉ Marsha Norman ◉ Lynn Nottage ◉ Emma Rice ◉ Daryl Roth ◉ Michelle Terry and many more...

Performing Gender Violence
Author: B. Ozieblo
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137010568
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Violence against women in plays bywomen has earned little mention. This revolutionary collection fills that gap, focusing on plays by American women dramatists, written in the last thirty years, that deal with different forms of gender violence. Each author discusses specific manifestations of violence in carefully selected plays: psychological, familial, war-time, and social injustice. This book encompasses the theatrical devices used to represent violence on the stage in an age of virtual, immediate reality as much as the problematics of gender violence in modern society.
