Timberlake Wertenbaker: The Representation of Women Artists. A Thematic Study in Contemporary British Theatre

      Аннотация: Timberlake Wertenbaker is a prominent figure in Contemporary British Theatre. Along with Caryl Churchill and other female British Playwrights, she offers a deep analysis for the situation of women artists in literary scene. Timberlake Wertenbaker: The Representation of Women Artist in Contemporary British Theatre is a key point for those researchers and academics who look for the main reasons behind under-representing of women artists in Contemporary British Theatre. Her plays, Our Country's Good (1988), Three Birds Alighting on a Field (1991), The Break of Day (1995) and After Darwin (1998) truly reflected the dilemma of the artist. The female artists are portrayed in such a way as they struggle to establish their place in a man-dominated culture. Majeed Mohammed Midhin is a PhD student at the University of Essex, Uk. He has participated in more than 15 international conferences all over the world about the situation of Contemporary Theatre.
