Hailed as one of the most talented playwrights to have emerged in the late 2000s, Mike Bartlett's diverse range of plays strike at the heart of the various crises predominant in the early twenty-first century. Offering the first extensive examination of the plays and television series written by award winning playwright Mike Bartlett, this volume not only provides analysis of some of Bartlett’s best-known works (Cock, Doctor Foster, King Charles III, and Albion), but also includes new interviews with Bartlett and some of his closest and oft relied upon collaborators. In this book, Bartlett’s plays and television series are grouped together thematically, allowing the reader to observe the cross-pollination between his works on the stage and screen. The book also includes an introductory biographical chapter that discusses early influences on his writing (Harold Pinter, Mark Ravenhill, Tony Kushner, and Quentin Tarantino), his time in the Young Writers Programme at the Royal Court, and his work with the Apathists. Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatists is a series of innovative and exciting critical introductions to the work of internationally pioneering playwrights, giving undergraduate students an ideal point of entry into these key figures in modern drama.

But that's what this is, isn't it? The ultimate bitch fight. When John takes a break from his boyfriend, his accidentally meets the girl of his dreams. Filled with guilt and indecision, he decides there is only one way to straighten this out . . . Mike Bartlett's metrosexual play about love and longing provides us with questions of who we are and who we want to be. John's refusal to fix his identity disturbs and disrupts the lives of those around him in this contemporary tale of sex without nudity and struggle without violence. Mike Bartlett's punchy story takes a playful, candid look at one man's sexuality and the difficulties that arise when you realise you have a choice. Cock premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, on 13 November 2009. It is published here in the Modern Classics series, featuring an introduction by Mark O'Thomas.

Six Ensemble Plays for Young Actors is an anthology of work written for actors aged 11-25. Ideal for youth theatre groups, schools and amateur dramatic companies, it contains a diverse selection of plays suited to large casts and ensemble performance. Varying in style and subject matter, the plays offer performers, directors and designers a range of exciting challenges: from recreating the mythological world of The Odyssey to a dramatisation of two hundred years of slavery that will take the audience on a journey from eighteenth century Africa to 1990s London in Sweetpeter. Contemporary urban living is confronted in plays ranging from the starkly realistic to the playful, lyrical and surrealistic. From the innocent and imaginative world of a school playground to issues of racism, peer pressure, crime and communication in a mobile phone obsessed culture, this is a wide-ranging anthology that will enrich the repertoire of youth theatre groups and the curriculum in schools. The volume is introduced by Paul Roseby, artistic director of the National Youth Theatre.

Having surveyed post-war British drama in State of the Nation, Michael Billington now looks at the global picture. In this provocative and challenging new book, he offers his highly personal selection of the 100 greatest plays ranging from the Greeks to the present-day. But his book is no mere list. Billington justifies his choices in extended essays- and even occasional dialogues- that put the plays in context, explain their significance and trace their performance history. In the end, it's a book that poses an infinite number of questions. What makes a great play? Does the definition change with time and circumstance? Or are certain common factors visible down the ages? It's safe to say that it's a book that, in revising the accepted canon, is bound to stimulate passionate argument and debate. Everyone will have strong views on Billington's chosen hundred and will be inspired to make their own selections. But, coming from Britain's longest-serving theatre critic, these essays are the product of a lifetime spent watching and reading plays and record the adventures of a soul amongst masterpieces.

The Tyme Paradox written by Christian Carrington and has been published by iUniverse this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2004 with Fiction categories.

It is an era of paradox. Current events contradict common sense. America is the sole superpower basking in extraordinary wealth and military success. Yet, external attack and internal corruption continue to plague its democracy. Nuclear disaster is looming. Financial fraud is endemic. Individual freedom has eroded. Tragically, President Jerry Ashton suddenly vanishes in a terrorist event. Paradoxically, two decades later, Ashton's agenda to reverse these trends has taken place. A beautiful, successful young woman, Kathryn Austin, encounters a reclusive, aging author completing the astounding chronicle of Michael Tyme, who played a crucial role in Ashton's disappearance. Embarking on a gripping quest, Kathryn seeks the purpose behind the paradox. Christian A. Carrington, in his carefully reasoned novel, delves deeply into recent paradoxical, yet troubling trends. America's military success has heightened the probability of nuclear terrorism. Unbridled corporate freedom has reined in the power of the people. Privatization has inadequately met public needs. Media consolidation threatens freedom of expression. The Tyme Paradox is a brilliantly told, highly original dramatic story, packed with mystery and suspense. A real page-turner, Tyme glimpses the consequences if we fail to act. A captivating read, the story offers perturbing paradoxes and beguiling possibilities for the probing mind. "It's a fascinating way to make the case for many of the vital principles and actions that haven't yet been adequately communicated by our politicians"-Mario M. Cuomo
