Women upon women in contemporary British drama (2000–2017)

Contemporary British drama is characterized by a more balanced representation of men and women in the sector of playwriting than in the past. The second decade of our century, in particular, is witnessing a steady rise in the number of women playwrights who, in most cases, achieve both critical and public success. This book will map the still uncharted twenty-first century female playwrights’ work, focusing on the women parts in plays written by women from 2000 to present time.
