Kate Dorney offers a fresh perspective on the history of post-war English
theatre by examining the ways in which the practice and criticism of
theatre interact with contemporary understandings of language between
1945
and
2005.
From Noel Coward to Sarah Kane and
J.B
Priestley to
Harold Pinter she considers attitudes to, and the reception and construc¬
tion of, language in English theatre and the social, cultural, intellectual and
artistic implications of these practices. Synthesising and supplementing
existing work in theatre and cultural studies as well as in stylistics, The
Changing Language of Modern English Drama considers the ways in which
anxieties about, and attitudes toward, language manifest themselves in
discourses on and around theatre of the period.
Beginning with an examination of popular notions of communication and
communication breakdown, the book proceeds to examine the anxieties
induced by changing linguistic styles in the post-war period by contextualising
the historical and linguistic context of key theatrical events and practitioners.
Kate Dorney is the Curator of Modern
&
Contemporary Performance at
the Victoria
&
Albert Museum, London, UK, and was the curator in charge
of realising the Theatre
&
Performance galleries there. She has published
and lectured widely on modern and contemporary theatre in the field of
history and historiography and performance documentation.
