The 'in-yer-face' plays of the mid-1990s announced a new generation shaped by Thatcherism and defined by antipathy to social ideals and political involvement. They have generated thoughtful and lively responses from playwrights. The resulting dialogue has brought politics to the forefront of British drama and reinvigorated British theatre.
Political theatre has re-emerged strongly since 1995, to articulate changed issues, alignments and definitions of politics and power in Britain. New work by both young and established dramatists contests the post-Thatcher mood of disengagement, creating exciting debates about the power and responsibility of individuals, defining characteristics and issues of the nation, the interaction of cultural collectives with the nation as a whole, and Britain''s relationship with other nations in the world.
