First published in 2006; Aleks Sierzs The Theatre of Martin Crimp provided a groundbreaking study of one of British theatres leading contemporary playwrights. Combining Sierzs lucid prose and sharp analysis together with interviews with Martin Crimp and a host of directors and actors who have produced the work; it offered a richly rewarding and engaging assessment of this acutely satirical playwright. The second edition additionally explores the work produced between 2006 and 2013; both the major new plays and the translations and other work. The second edition considers The City; the 2008 companion play to The Country; Play House from 2012 and the new work for the Royal Court in late 2012. The two works that have brought Crimp considerable international acclaim in recent years; the updated rewrite of The Misanthrope which in 2009 played for several months in the West End starring Keira Knightley; and Crimps translation of Botho Strausss Big and Small (Barbican; 2012); together with Crimps other work in translation are all covered. The Theatre of Martin Crimp remains the fullest; most readable account of Crimpss work for the stage.
