Résumé
First published in 2006, Aleks Sierz's The Theatre of Martin Crimp was a groundbreaking study of one of British theatre's leading contemporary playwrights. Combining Sierz's lucid prose and sharp analysis together with interviews with Martin Crimp and a host of directors and theatre-makers, it offered a richly rewarding assessment of this exceptional playwright. This new edition builds on the success of the first by also investigating Crimp's work since 2006.
Sierz considers The City, the 2008 companion play to The Country, as well as Play House, In the Republic of Happiness and the opera Written on Skin from 2012.The two works that have brought Crimp considerable public acclaim in recent years - the updated rewrite of The Misanthrope which in 2009 played for several months in the West End starring Keira Knightley and Damian Lewis, and Crimp's translation of Botho Strauss's Big and Small, performed at the Barbican in 2012 - together with his other work in translation, are also analysed.
The Theatre of Martin Crimp remains the richest, most readable account of Crimp's work for the stage.
