David Edgar, Playwright and Politician
David Edgar: Playwright and Politician examines the British dramatist's forty stage plays written between 1971 and 1983, effectively providing a minihistory of Britain's sociopolitical climate since World War II and of Britain's post-1968 political theatre movement, with its various methods and changing venues. Swain discusses Edgar's use of dramatic form, his subject matter and his political viewpoint in order to examine different approaches to political playwriting, ranging from the blatant didacticism of agitprop to the subtler mimesis of social realism. Particular attention is given to Edgar's landmark plays, Destiny and Maydays, both produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company. A chapter is also devoted to Edgar's widely performed adaptations, The Jail Diary of Albie Sachs, Mary Barnes and Nicholas Nickleby.

The Shape of the Table
1989. An Eastern Bloc government on the brink of collapse. As the old regime retreats, former political prisoners join banned writers around the negotiating table... The Shape of the Table is part of David Edgar's post-Cold War trilogy of plays, which also includes Pentecost and The Prisoner's Dilemma. Witty and informative, this play is both an intensely topical account of what actually went on in the corridors of power and a timeless analysis of revolution in action. In particular the play explores not only the challenge of seizing power, but also the difficulty of relinquishing it. The Shape of the Table was first performed at the National Theatre, London, in 1990.
Edgar Plays: 3
"David Edgar, like Balzac, seems to be the secretary for our times." - The Guardian This third collection of plays by David Edgar includes Our Own People, Teendreams, Maydays and That Summer, encompassing some of his best work from the late 1970s and early 80s, and demonstrating the range of one of Britain's major political playwrights. Our Own People: "A courageous and intelligent discussion of race and industrial relations." - City Limits Teendreams (written with Susan Todd of Monstrous Regiment theatre company) is about the failed revolutionary dreams of a set of teenagers. Maydays compares the phenomenon of post-war social rebellion from Western and Eastern perspectives. That Summer is an "elegantly tangential treatment of the 1984 miners' strike" (Plays and Players). "Edgar never lets his drama simplify into ideological diagram ... This elegant, humane play keeps its emphasis on the ... results that can ensue when diverse lives briefly brush against each other." (Independent)
