The most controversial and newsworthy plays in British theatre in the 1990s are a rash of rude, vicious and provocative pieces by a brat pack of twenty-somethings whose debuts startled critics and audiences with their heady mix of sex, violence and street-poetry. In-Yer-Face Theatre is the first book to examine the importance of this renaissance in British theatre.
