Contemporary Feminist Theatres is a major evaluation of the forms feminism has taken in the theatre since 1968. Lizbeth Goodman provides a provocative and interdisciplinary study of the development of feminist theatres in Britain. She examines the treatment of key issues such as gender, race, sexuality, language and power in performance. Based on original research and fresh data, Contemporary Feminst Theatres is a fully comprehensive and admirably clear analysis of a flourishing field of practice and inquiry.
This work investigates the evolution and diverse manifestations of feminist performance art within the British theatrical landscape from 1968 to the present. Lizbeth Goodman utilizes an interdisciplinary framework to assess how political and social shifts have influenced stage representations of identity. By synthesizing original research and performance data, the author argues that feminist theatre functions as a critical site for negotiating power, language, and systemic inequality.
