Theatre Uncut: The Anthology

by Various authors - £14.99  Oberon Books Ltd (2011)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781849430630 | ISBN 10: 1849430632

Across the UK thousands of people are involved in protests and debates, sparked into action by the largest cuts to publicspending since WWII – cuts which are the turning point of a generation, undermining the welfare state, higher education and the arts in one fell swoop. Theatre Uncut is a national theatre event in response to these cuts, bringing together some of the UK’s leading dramatists.
 
Drama groups, universities, youth clubs and theatre companies nationwide joined the event, staging their own versions of the shorts in a national theatrical uprising. Now published in this new collection, Theatre Uncut contains these short plays, addressing audiences who want to think about what the budget cuts really mean, and who they are really hitting. A debate is underway. Protest might begin, minds might be changed, views challenged, ideas formed. Theatre Uncut is a response to a situation that we cannot control, and over which we had no say.
 
Authors include: David Greig, Dennis Kelly, Clara Brennan, Lucy Kirkwood, Laura Lomas, Anders Lustgarten, Jack Thorne and Mark Ravenhill
