She focuses on women's dramatic efforts to "speak out" of the ideological spaces in which they have been positioned. She attends to the processes through which female characters have found their voices, and tracks their journeys into previously uninhabited territories. The plays she considers include: Pam Gem's "Queen Christina," Charlotte Keatley's "My Mother Said I Never Should," Louise Page's "Real Estate," Timberlake Wertenbaker's "The Grace of Mary Traverse," Winsome Pinnock's "Leave Taking," Caryl Churchill's "The Skriker" and Anne Devlin's "After Easter." |
