In-yer-face theatre
In-yer-face theatre describes a style of drama that emerged in Great Britain in the 1990s. This term was coined by British theatre critic Aleks Sierz as the title of his book, ''In-Yer-Face Theatre'', first published by Faber and Faber in March 2001.〔Aleks Sierz, ''In-Yer-Face Theatre: British Drama Today'' (London: Faber and Faber, 2001).〕 An adjunct faculty member in Boston University's London graduate journalism program, and co-editor of TheatreVoice,〔(Boston University International Programs: Academic faculty ) including a brief biography of Aleks Sierz.〕 Sierz uses ''in-yer-face theatre'' to describe work by young playwrights who present vulgar, shocking, and confrontational material on stage as a means of involving and affecting their audiences.〔 According to Sierz, "The big three of in-yer-face theatre are Sarah Kane, Mark Ravenhill and Anthony Neilson"; in listing 14 "Other hot shots" in "Who?" on his website, Sierz adds the following qualification: "Of course, some writers wrote one or two in-yer-face plays and then moved on. Like all categories, this one can't hope to completely grasp the ever-changing reality of the explosive new writing scene."〔Aleks Sierz, ("Who?" ), ''In-Yer-Face Theatre'' website. Retrieved 9 June 2008.〕
