Part of Methuen’s influential Theatre File series, Plays by Women gathers landmark works from late-twentieth-century feminist theatre.

Together they reflect the surge of experimental and politically engaged theatre written by women in Britain during the 1970s and 80s.

The anthologies situates these plays within the broader feminist theatre movement, foregrounding questions of power, friendship, labour, sexuality and social control. 

Still widely read in theatre studies and performance circles, the volume offers both a snapshot of feminist theatre history and a set of scripts that remain lively, political and very stageable.
