In this article, I argue for the political relevance of the work of Phyllis Nagy not only to the 1990s – the decade in which the majority of her work premiered – but to current political, theoretical and theatrical debates. I consider the ways in whi... Read More about Into the Darkest Places: Pursuing Politics in the Plays of Phyllis Nagy.
