Women in Dramatic Place and Time by Geraldine Cousin (9780415067348)

Description - Women in Dramatic Place and Time by Geraldine Cousin

In this work, Geraldine Cousins presents detailed analyses of a wide range of plays by British women dramatists from the last two decades. The book takes as its central focus women's dramatic attempts to "speak out" of the ideological spaces in which they have been confined. It reveals the processes through which female characters have found their voices, and tracks their journeys into previously uninhabited territories. The plays considered include: "Queen Christina" by Pam Gem; "My Mother Said I Never Should" by Charlotte Keatley; "Real Estate" by Louise Page; "The Grace of Mary Traverse" by Timberlake Wertenbaker; "Leave Taking" by Winsome Pinnock; "The Striker" by Caryl Churchill; and "After Easter" by Anne Devlin.
