Social, cultural, and psychological resonance in John B. Keane's The field: what lies beneath (1st edition.)

Focusing on John B. Keane's best-known play 'The Field', this book provides an examination of the cultural and psychological resonances present in his work.

From the changing social, political and economic contexts of the play's genesis, to present-day austerity and malaise, 'The Field' remains a popular and relevant piece of theatre, and in this publication possible motivations behind such popularity and relevance are posited.
