Twenty-first century British Drama presents a wide range of perspectives, experimental practices and critical approaches. Recent plays are concerned with ethical and political issues, and their use of innovative techniques is continuously challenging the meaning-making process. The ethical revival in several disciplines in recent times has found its reflections in literary theory and theatre as well. Ethical interrogations in the contemporary age peak with the post-truth condition in which the actions of people are manipulated by lies based on beliefs and emotions. Thus, the nature of ethical stance in such an age deserves to be investigated, especially in contemporary theatrical studies.This book aims to provide an ethical viewpoint to the works of three renowned contemporary British playwrights, David Greig, Marina Carr and Martin Crimp, and to demonstrate their innovative styles and experimental approaches. It seeks the traces of ethical transformation in the contemporary age and provides a Levinasian ethical critique. Thus, with its contemporary perspective, this book contributes to the literary field, and it is of interest to scholars working on contemporary British theatre and Ethical Criticism.
