 "Dramaturgy of Sex on Stage in Contemporary Theatre explores the dramaturgy of sex in contemporary works for the stage in the social, cultural and historical context of the time and place during which they were written and performed. Comprised of chapters by writers from across the United States, United Kingdom and Europe, the book covers an expansive range of plays, musicals and dance performances, from Broadway to the fringe, from post-AIDS epidemic to post-COVID-19 pandemic. Analysing these intimate moments-both textually and as staged-through an intersectional and critical lens illuminates the way power structures are maintained and codified, and how they can be queered and dismantled onstage and off. This examination of depictions of sex on stage attempts to understand from a dramaturgical and sociological perspective how these depictions have developed over time, and how the rise of intimacy directors has responded to the changes within the contemporary theatrical landscape and in the world at large. This is an essential companion for any scholar or practitioner looking to stage, discuss or understand intimacy in performance"--
