One of Europes greatest playwrights; Caryl Churchill has been internationally celebrated for four decades. She has exploded the narrow definitions of political theatre to write consistently hard-edged and innovative work. Always unpredictable in her stage experiments; her plays have stretched the relationships between form and content; actor and spectator to their limits. This new critical introduction to Churchill examines her political agendas; her collaborations with other practitioners; and looks at specific production histories of her plays. Churchills work continues to have profound resonances with her audiences and this book explores her preoccupation with representing such phenomena as capitalism; genocide; environmental issues; identity; psychiatry and mental illness; parenting; violence and terrorism. It includes new interviews with actors and directors of her work; and gathers together source material from her wide-ranging career.

MiltonFor devotees of Spanish music; Walter Clarks biography on Isaac Albeniz was a hard act to follow; but hes done it again with this biography of Albeniz contemporary; Enrique Granados. Clark brings both Granados and his music back to life in a brilliant work that sets new standards for musical biography.-- John W. Milton; author of The Fallen Nightingale; an historical novel based on the life of Granados
