Numerous plays have professionals as major characters, but academia has ignored them to a large extent.The Professions in Contemporary British Drama fills this extraordinary gap with a series of nine papers discussing the educational professions (Bennett, Mangan), the medical profession (Shields, Buse, ), priests (Kurdi), archaeologists (Forsyth) and artists (Di Benedetto, Meyer-Dinkgräfe, Edwards).The book is of relevance to theatre academics and students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It is based on a conference organised in conjunction with the Centre for English Studies, School of Advanced Studies, University of London, 6 March 1998.
Daniel Myer-Dinkgrafe is head lecturer in Theatre, Film and Television Studies at the University of Aberystwyth. The relation of consciousness and performance represents his major research interest, documented by Conciousness and the Actor (Peter Lang, 1996).
