520 8 What does it mean for a play to be political in the 21st
century? Does it require explicit engagement with events
and situations with the aim of bringing about change or
highlighting social wrongs? Is it purely a matter of
content or is it also a matter of structure? This text
examines the politics of contemporary 'political' drama.
It traces the origins of the contemporary British
political play to the emergence of the idea of 'serious
drama' in the late 19th century through the work of
Bernard Shaw, and argues that a Shavian version of serious
drama was inextricably linked to the social and political
structures of British society at the time.
520 "What does it mean for a play to be political in the 21st
century? Does it require explicit engagement with events
and situations with the aim of bringing about change or
highlighting social wrongs? Is it purely a matter of
content or is it also a matter of structure? The
Contemporary Political Play: Rethinking Dramaturgical
Structure examines the politics of contemporary
'political' drama. It traces the origins of the
contemporary British political play to the emergence of
the idea of 'serious drama' in the late 19th century
through the work of Bernard Shaw, and argues that a
Shavian version of serious drama was inextricably linked
to the social and political structures of British society
at the time. While political drama is still often thought
of as adhering to a Shavian model in which social issues
are presented through a dialectical structure, Grochala
argues that the different political structures of
contemporary Britain give rise to formally inventive
dramaturgies that are no less 'serious' or political than
their Shavian forebears. Through analysing the
experimental dramaturgies of contemporary plays by
playwrights including Caryl Churchill, Simon Stephens,
Anthony Neilson, debbie tucker green and Mark Ravenhill,
among others, it offers a set of new principles for
understanding how a play functions politically and reveals
how today the dramaturgical structure of a play is as
political as its content"--|cProvided by publisher.
