The article compares the state of new-play culture in Great Britain and the U.S. It makes reference to the book "Outrageous Fortune: The Life and Times of the New American Play," by Todd London and Ben Pesner to highlight the financial challenges faced by American new-play writers and theatremakers. It explores how English playwrights face similar challenges with initiatives such as new-play production, funding for writers and dialogue with contemporary issues.
