Theatre of David Greig

David Greig has been described as 'one of the most interesting and adventurous British dramatists of his generation' (<i>Daily Telegraph</i>) and 'one of the most intellectually stimulating dramatists around' (<i>Guardian</i>). Since he began writing for theatre in the early nineties his work has been both copious and remarkably varied defying neat generalisations or attempts to pigeon-hole his work. Besides his original plays he has adapated classics is co-founder of the Suspect Culture Theatre Group and is currently Dramaturge for the National Theatre of Scotland. <br/><br/>This Critical Companion provides an analytical survey of his work from his early plays such as <i>Europe</i> and <i>The Architect</i>through to more recent works <i>Damascus</i> <i>Dunsinane</i>and <i>Ramallah</i>; it also considers the plays produced with Suspect Culture and his work for young audiences. As such it is the first book to provide a critical account of the full variety of his work and will appeal to students and fans of contemporary British theatre.<br/><br/>Clare Wallace provides a detailed analysis of a broad selection of plays and their productions reviews current discourses about his work and offers a framework for enquiry. The Companion features an interview with David Greig and a further three essays by leading academics offering a variety of critical perspectives.
