Feminist Theatre - Then and Now: celebrating 50 years With an overview of half a century of women's theatre, this book pays tribute to feminist theatre makers in the UK and Ireland. The pioneers, and leading lights of the newly energised feminist theatre movement, share their struggle to make their voices heard, have their work produced professionally, and promote social justice.With 30+ essays and interviews and many rare photographs from historic productions, this book offers insight into the lived experience of women working in theatre, and what it takes to rise in an industry where race, class, gender, and parenthood can be serious obstacles to success.Introduction by Elaine AstonAsian Women's Theatre in Britain by Rukhsana AhmadDerby Theatre by Sarah BrighamInterview with Moira BuffiniIntersectional Feminism at Work by Kelly BurkeThe Personal was very Political by Clair ChapwellBehind The Lines by Alison ChildHow Feminism has influenced my Playwriting by April de AngelisInterview with Suzanne GormanClean Break by Anna HerrmannThe Women in Theatre Lab by Polly Kemp and Jennifer TuckettInterview with Hannah KhalilPersistence, Expression and Evolution by Peta LilyInterview with Roberta LivingstonEcofeminism in Theatre by Bibi LucilleThe Third World of Irish Women by Jaki McCarrickMonstrous Regiment by Mary McCuskerOpen Clasp Theatre Company by Catrina McHughInterview with Suzie MillerInterview with Ann MitchellInterview with Rebecca MordanInterview with Amy NgUntold Stories by Maeve O'NeillGirls' Night Out by Rachel O'ReganInterview with Kaite O'ReillySphinx by Sue Parrish and Susan McGounInterview with Julia PascalOut of the Attic - WTW by Cheryl Robson and Anna BirchScylla's Bite by Rebekah Smith and Abbie LoweInterview with Dame Rosemary SquireWomen in their own Words by Lucy StevensStellar Quines & After by Gerda StevensonDifferences Matter by SuAndiTheatre from a Lesbian Perspective by Clare SummerskillInterview with Imy Wyatt Corner Wydawnictwo: Aurora Metro Publications Rok wydania: 2024 Okładka: miękka Liczba stron: 288 Wymiary: 21 x 14.8 x 1.7 cm Język: angielski ISBN: 9781913641382
