This study presents analyses of a wide range of contemporary plays written by women dramatists from a feminist theoretical perspective. It offers creative insights into the exchange between women's dramatic writing and feminist theories of subjectivity and representation in the last three decades and attends to the processes through which the female subject is reconfigured in the theatrical and theoretical spaces created by women. The book is valuable reading for students of theatre and comparative studies, as well as anyone interested in women's writing. The authors treated include Hélène Cixous, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Helen Edmundson, Caryl Churchill, Sheila Yeger, April De Angelis, Anna Furse, Wendy Kesselman, Susan Sontag, Liz Lochhead.... 105 Augustan self - fashioning , 158 – 165 Augustine , patient at the

Feminist Views on the English Stage, first published in 2003, is an exciting and insightful study on drama from a feminist perspective, one that challenges an idea of the 1990s as a 'post-feminist' decade and pays attention to women's playwriting marginalized by a 'renaissance' of angry young men. Working through a generational mix of writers, from Sarah Kane, the iconoclastic 'bad girl' of the stage, to the 'canonical' Caryl Churchill, Elaine Aston charts the significant political and aesthetic changes in women's playwriting at the century's end. Aston also explores writing for the 1990s in theatre by Sarah Daniels, Bryony Lavery, Phyllis Nagy, Winsome Pinnock, Rebecca Prichard, Judy Upton and Timberlake Wertenbaker.I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the dramatists whose work is discussed in
this book for the excellence of their plays. ... Anna Furse kindly helped me to
obtain a copy of Augustine (Big Hysteria) while this was still unpublished.

This study describes the creative process of generating the ensemble performance work Dr. Charcot's Hysteria Shows, including the use of Labanotation and group improvisations in decoding the body language of 19th-century hysterics at the Salpetriere, with interpolations from Freud's case histories. The verbal text draws from and responds to writings by Sigmund Freud on women, and Charcot's famous lectures, filtered through 20th-century feminist criticism and theory. With illustrations.Augustine ( Big Hysteria ) won her a Time Out Award for Direction and Writing ,
and a nomination for the London Weekend Television Plays on Stage Award
1991 . She is currently working on a film adaptation of the play for Arena Films .
