The Representation of Moral Theory in Postmodern Theatre

The Representation of Moral Theory in Postmodern Theatre explores how
postmodern drama reflects and challenges moral understanding through
complex narratives and ethically charged themes. Focusing on plays like
David Harrower’s Blackbird and Anna Jordan’s Yen, the book examines how
postmodern theatre confronts issues such as trauma, moral ambiguity, and
social taboos. It also considers the historical shift from traditional moral
theatre to contemporary forms that resist clear ethical resolution,
emphasizing the role of literature in representing human conflict and
responsibility.
