Books by Geraldine Cousin

Playing for time explores connections between theatre time, the historical moment and fictional time. Geraldine Cousin persuasively argues that a crucial characteristic of contemporary British theatre is its preoccupation with instability and danger, and traces images of catastrophe and loss in a wide range of recent plays and productions.

This offers exciting insights into the diversity and excellence of contemporary plays by women. Presents detailed analysis of a wide range of plays by women dramatist from the last two decades, including the work of Caryl Churchill.
