Martin Crimp's Theatre : Collapse as Resistance to Late Capitalist Society

This book is a timely intervention in theatre studies which reads Martin Crimp's plays in the context of contemporary, late capitalist societies of control or of `spectacle', and explores how female collapse in particular works as a form of denunciation of the violence of globalized, free-market economy.

It contends that Crimp can best be understood as a post-Holocaust playwright, and it will be of interest to both specialists in Crimp and theatre studies, and to anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of Crimp's dramaturgy.
