Twenty-First Century Anxieties
The volume uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine how 21st-century British theatre increasingly intercuts dystopian and utopian elements to create innovative strategies for addressing current social and political concerns. In the case studies, a key role is given to the ways in which the selected plays use real and fictional spaces on stage and thereby manage to construct interactional spaces which the spectators are invited to share.
300 Tested Recipes
Originally produced to raise funds for 'The Training Home for Girls, Kenilworth', Guy's Cliffe, Warwick in 1912, this book contains 300 recipes covering meat, savories and soup; puddings, sweets, and cakes; jams, pickles and chutneys. These were all supplied by many different people who presumably had some connection with the home and this has created a splendid variety of dishes including a recipe for 'A good kitchen soap'. All of the contributors are acknowledged and this adds to the interest. Many of the recipes would not be found in the cookery books popular today and will appeal to amateur and professional cooks alike who are looking to add variety to their menus. When this book was first produced it was the norm to have servants and that is reflected in some of the preparation times. Nevertheless not everybody is looking for the quick fix.
Stage Business and the Neoliberal Theatre of London
This book examines contemporary English drama and its relation to the neoliberal consensus that has dominated British policy since 1979. The London stage has emerged as a key site in Britain’s reckoning with neoliberalism. On one hand, many playwrights have denounced the acquisitive values of unfettered global capitalism; on the other, plays have more readily revealed themselves as products of the very market economy they critique, their production histories and formal innovations uncomfortably reproducing the strategies and practices of neoliberal labour markets. Stage Business and the Neoliberal Theatre of London thus arrives at a usefully ambivalent political position, one that praises the political power of the theatre – its potential as a form of resistance to the neoliberal rationality that rides roughshod over democratic values – while simultaneously attending to the institutional bondage that constrains it. For, of course, the theatre itself everywhere straddles the line of capitulating to the marketization of our cultural life.

“McDowall masterfully plants ideas that grow until they explode into extraordinary shapes. Filthy humour breaks down into a cracked algorithm of letters and loss ... a play that will gnaw away at you. It's sci-fi – and theatre – at its best.” The Stage Billions of miles from home, the lone research base on Pluto has lost contact with Earth. Unable to leave or send for help, the skeleton crew sit waiting. Waiting. Waiting long enough for time to start eating away at them. To lose all sense of it. To start seeing things in the dark outside. X premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2016. This new Modern Classics edition features an introduction by Dr Cristina Delgado-García.
