Описание: A Critical Companion to the work of the playwright once described in The Times as ‘England's greatest living dramatist' and by Sarah Kane as ‘the Shakespeare of our age'. It examines his best known plays in detail and includes contributions from directors and actors associated with his work. Howard Barker is widely recognised as one of the most important playwrights of recent and contemporary European Theatre. While his status within the Britain cultural establishment has waxed and waned, he remains the only living British playwright to have a company devoted exclusively to his work, and his theoretical writings and essays about theatre are also encountered by undergraduates and postgraduates in most University theatre and drama departments. This companion begins with an overview of Barker's long career to date, identifying key themes, approaches and features of his work. It examines in detail Barker's major plays written and performed between 1983 and 2012 through a broadly chronological structure and considering the plays as performance texts, with discussions of productions, staging and critical reception. Barker's extensive writing on his own work is reviewed and the book features also critical perspectives from a number of individuals who have worked as director, actor or designer on his work.
