Description
Drawing on the philosophies of Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Luc Nancy, this volume examines the ways in which contemporary British drama and theatre engage with 'the precarious'. The analysis of a wide range of plays shows that contemporary (British) drama and theatre often realise their thematic and formal/structural potential to the full by reflecting upon the category and the episteme of precariousness.
