"Informative, provocative and entertaining all at the same time." - Michael Billington

This is a wide-ranging and accessible account of new writing in British theatre during the 2010s, written in a boldly experimental style. A guide to the key plays and playwriting innovations, it enlightens, amuses and provokes in equal measure.

Across 15 chapters, each written in a different form, it takes the reader on an engaging tour of new drama in British theatre from 2010 until the arrival of COVID-19. It considers mega hits such as Fleabag and Matilda the Musical, as well as offering accounts of some 250 plays that premiered in those years. Structured around the big concerns of the decade, it explores social issues, politics, Brexit, dystopias, experimental theatre, family, gender, race, history, adaptations and the West End.

­­A decade of drama is thrown into sharp relief through the symphony of literary styles and voices that characterize the chapters: from dialogues, monologues, a diary and a listings magazine, to an experimental A to Z, informal notes, quotations from real-life interviews, a documentary script and a memoir. The variety of perspectives mirrors the richness of our contemporary culture and the innovations in theatre that are celebrated in New British Drama in 15 Scenes.

批評家のレビュー

Sierz is ever inventive in finding multiple interesting entry points for the reader … New British Drama in 15 Scenes offers a clarity of writing which makes this book highly accessible for general and specialist readers.
There are as many ways to write theatre criticism as there are to skin a cat (not that I have ever done such a thing). In this highly original book, Aleks Sierz adopts a series of different voices to match the polyphonic variety of new drama over the course of a decade. The result is informative, provocative and entertaining all at the same time and reminds us that criticism is itself a form of art.
Aleks Sierz’s New British Drama in 15 Scenes: Adventures in Theatre Criticism is an invaluable addition to his current trilogy chronicling the last three decades of British drama (1990s-2010s). His encyclopedic knowledge of the plays produced in the 2010s results in his covering over 250 plays, ranging from Olivier award winning plays to fringe performances, all of which are treated equally as representatives of a remarkably diverse decade of theatre. In order to capture the disparate themes of the 2010s Sierz offers readers a novel and creative exploration of the decade by dropping his critic’s voice and instead in each chapter adopting a different persona, ranging from a sociologist to three millennials to a visual artist, providing innovative pathways to appreciating the complexity of the theatre in the 2010s. Because of Sierz’s playful and highly readable approach, his book will be prized by general readers, students, and academics.
Sierz’s experimental approach to the decade and his 'adventures in theatre criticism' is refreshing, fun, and thorough. You can dip in at almost every topic and be both entertained and informed.
