"The Contemporary History Play contends that many history plays are becoming more complex and layered in their aesthetic approaches, as playwrights work through the experience of being surrounded by numerous and varied forms of historical representation in the twenty-first century. For theatre scholars, this book offers a means of interpreting how new writing relies on the past and notions of historicity to generate meaning and resonance in the present. For playwrights and students of playwriting, the book is a guide to the history play's recent past, and to the state of the art: what techniques and formulas have been popular, the tropes that are widely used, and how artists have found ways of renewing or overturning established conventions"--

Through investigating how history is presented and probed in 21st-century plays, The Contemporary History Play proposes a radical new framework for analysing contemporary historical drama.

Something exciting is happening with the contemporary history play. New writing by playwrights such as Jackie Sibblies Drury, Samuel Adamson, Hannah Khalil, Cordelia Lynn, and Lucy Kirkwood, makes powerful theatrical use of the past, but does not fit into critics' familiar categories of historical drama. In this book, Benjamin Poore provides readers with tools to name and critically analyse these changes.

An ambitious and engaging study A crucial text for scholars and students of theatre, as well as for playwrights interested in the interplay between history and drama. Poores thorough and insightful analysis provides a valuable framework for understanding how contemporary theatre engages with historical narratives. He broadens the definition of what constitutes a history play and highlights the innovative techniques used by contemporary playwrights. This approach provides a fresh and compelling perspective on a dynamic and evolving genre while challenging conventional critical paradigms and opening new avenues for exploration and analysis.
