Foreword; Aleks Sierz -- 1. To Begin to Speculate: Theatre Studies, Ethics and Spectatorship; Mireia Aragay -- PART I: (POST-)HOLOCAUST REPRESENTATIONS -- 2. Violence, Testimony and Ethics in Martin Crimp's The Country and The City; Clara Escoda -- 3. Bearing Witness and Ethical Responsibility in Harold Pinter's Ashes to Ashes; Hanna Scolnicov -- 4. How to Mourn: Kane, Pinter and Theatre as Monument to Loss in the 1990s; Mark Taylor-Batty -- PART II: THEORETICAL SPECULATIONS -- 5. Two: Duologues and the Differend; Dan Rebellato -- 6. The Undecidable and the Event: Ethics of Unrest in Martin Crimp's Attempts on Her Life and Debbie Tucker Green's Truth and Reconciliation; Martin Middeke -- PART III: SPECTATORIAL ETHICS -- 7. Playing with Proximity: Precarious Ethics on Stage in the New Millennium; Clare Wallace -- 8. Witness or Accomplice? Unsafe Spectatorship in the Work of Anthony Neilson and Simon Stephens; Vicky Angelaki -- 9. Witnessing, Sexualized Spectatorship and the (De)construction of Queer Identities in Mother -- Clap's Molly House, The Pride and Cock; Enric Monforte -- PART IV: ETHICS AND INSTITUTIONS -- 10. From Front Page to Front Stage: War Correspondents and Media Ethics in British Theatre; Christiane Schlote -- 11. Kicking Tots and Revolutionary Trots: The English Stage Company Young People's Theatre Scheme 1969-70; Graham Saunders.

This wide-ranging volume is the first to offer a comprehensive critical examination of the intersections between contemporary ethical thought and post-1989 British playwriting. After an introductory chapter that offers a vital contextualizing account of the rise of ethics within humanities discourse and establishes the internal logic of the collection's four-part structure, the subsequent chapters roam across varied theatrical and conceptual territory with discernible constellations of engagement with notions of witnessing and the 'Other', with processes of memory and the dynamics of responsibility, with precarity and Derridean undecidability, with the arguable tension between ethics and politics, and with the legacies of violence and the possibilities of intimacy. The volume's coverage of a large number of plays and playwrights, international range of contributors, theoretical rigour and original argumentation make it a key point of reference for students and researchers working in this broad field.
