Books by David Ian Rabey

Theatre, Time and Temporality is the first book-length exploration of the subject of temporality within theatre and performance. David Ian Rabey brings in sources ranging from medieval and Renaissance theatre to contemporary performances to analyse ways that time can be presented, communicated and transformed in the theatre.

Authoritative in its reference to all Rudkin's work for theatre, cinema, radio and television, this profound critical study aims to prompt a reappraisal of his work in current dramatic, theoretical, and sexual contexts.

Challenges the subjects of grief and sexual abuse and defies national and personal pressures to keep silent about such issues.

This is an introductory guide to the themes, styles, concerns and contexts of English drama, from 1940 to the turn of the 21st century.
