Exploring great drama of the last 1980s and 1990s through the eyes of those who write it, and those who direct it, this is at once a masterclass on theatrical technique and an insight into the ways in which dramatists have reacted to a rapidly-changing world. In this book, Duncan Wu talks to Michael Attenborough, Alan Bennett, Michael Blakemore, Howard Brenton, David Edgar, Sir Richard Eyre, Michael Frayn, Sir David Hare, Nicholas Hytner, and Max Stafford Clark.
DUNCAN WU is Professor of English Literature at the University of Glasgow. His publications include Wordsworth's Reading 1770-1815, Romanticism: An Anthology and Six Contemporary Dramatists.
