Drama + Theory

In this original book, Peter Buse illuminates the relationship between modern British drama and contemporary critical and cultural theory. The author demonstrates how theory allows fresh insights into familiar drama, pairing well-known plays with classic theory texts. The theoretical text is more than applied to the dramatic text, instead Buse shows how they reflect on each other. Drama + Theory provides not only provides new interpretations of popular plays, but of the theoretical texts as well.

Peter Buse is Lecturer in English and a member of the European Studies Research Institute at the University of Salford.
