Anotace knihy

Jez Butterworth is the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful new British dramatist of the 21st century: his acclaimed play Jerusalem has had extended runs in the West End and on Broadway. This book is the first to examine all of Butterworth's writings for stage and film and to identify how and why his work appeals so widely and profoundly. It contains interviews with those who have worked on Butterworth's plays in production, and examines the way that he weaves suspenseful stories of eccentric outsiders, whose adventures echo widespread contemporary social anxieties, and involve surprising expressions of both violence and generosity. Rabey reveals how Butterworth unearths the strange forms of wildness and defiance lurking in the depths and edges of England where unpredictable outbursts of wry and bawdy humour highlight the poignant intensity of life; and where characters discover links between their haunting but ominous past and the uncertainties of the present, to create a meaningful future. Running throughout is an exploration of contemporary English culture and how Butterworth's dramas engage with questions of national identity and Englishness today. The volume is supplemented with essays by James D. Balestrieri, Mary Karen Dahl and Elisabeth Angel-Perez, and a chronology of Butterworth's life and works. The Theatre and Films of Jez Butterworth is a richly rewarding and provocative study that will become a primary source of reference for a new generation of theatre audiences, practitioners and directors who wish to explore the work of this seminal dramatist.
