- Abstract
The book "Crisis, Representation and Resilience: Perspectives on Contemporary British Theatre" edited by Clare Wallace, Clara Escoda, Enric Monforte, and José Ramón Prado-Pérez explores the intersection of crisis and theatre in contemporary British society. The book focuses on crisis as an opportunity for transformation and resilience, examining various crises such as economic, ecological, social, and political. The contributors analyze the representation of crisis from diverse perspectives, including corporealities, collective action, nationscapes, contact zones, and new directions. The book offers timely commentary on a range of crises and provides marginalized perspectives on these issues. Overall, it is a valuable resource for scholars interested in politics, feminism, and contemporary theatre and performance studies.
