In-Yer-Face Theatre: British Drama Today by Aleks Sierz was published by Faber and Faber in March 2001. The manuscript of the book was completed in January 2000 - here's the latest news about new writing:

• Yes, I do know that there is plenty of material on this site which has nothing to do with in-yer-face theatre. One day, when I have the time and energy, I will create a new writing website. Promise.

• Also: see blog!

• Latest: extra additions to the archive.

• New(ish) feature: extensive new writing bibliography.

• My follow up to the bestselling In-Yer-Face Theatre is The Theatre of Martin Crimp, and it's out now - published by Methuen Drama. And. Not to forget (please): my other bastard child, John Osborne's Look Back in Anger (Continuum, 2008).
