David Greig: Dramaturgies of Encounter and Engagement, edited by Jacqueline Bolton
This special issue of Contemporary Theatre Review focuses on the work of contemporary Scottish playwright David Greig.  The issue emerges from a symposium held around the time of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, and addresses issues of national identity and globalization, utopianism and dissensus, and political engagement and participatory practice.

This issue of Interventions accompanies a special issue of the journal dedicated to the contemporary Scottish playwright and theatre director David Greig.

In this excerpt from a live conversation, Dan Rebellato talks with David Greig about what it’s like to have his work critically analysed and the playwright’s process of writing The Events (2013).

Victoria E. Price offers reflections on the 2015 production of Lanark: A Life in Three Acts, Greig’s adaptation of the 1981 Alasdair Gray novel of postmodern Scottish identity.

Welcome To The Fringe, a collaboration between David Greig, Forest Fringe, and London’s Gate Theatre, supported Palestinian artists in visiting and presenting at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

‘Butterfly Mind’, a performance-text adapted especially for the web, recreates David Greig’s journey on what he calls ‘an adventure in contemporary shamanic soul retrieval’.
