Reviews"Graham's work, numbering plays, TV films and series, and even the book for a musical, seems thematically wide at first glance, but this book explores what lies beneath. ... This book ... is a useful cross-disciplinary addition to literature on theatre and the current world by which it is inspired." (James Graham, LOUREVIEWS, loureviews.blog, July 26, 2024)

SynopsisJames Graham is one of the UK's leading dramatists, a multi-award-winning writer who for almost 20 years has analysed and articulated concepts of power and authority in modern British society. James Graham: State of the Nation Playwright is the first full-length assessment of the writer's output, applying core thematic areas - Democracy, Anarchy, Famous Faces and Television - to understand how different power bases operate in modern society, their effectiveness and influence, and how they came to pre-eminence during the last 70 years. The book concludes with an evaluation of Graham's contribution to state-of-the-nation debates, Britain's cycles of decline and its consequences for understanding contemporary national identity.
