This collaborative doctoral project between Central and the National Theatre's Black Plays Archive (BPA) will generate an original account of the development of post-colonial British nationhood from the 1960s to the 1980s, rooted in the now mainly unknown plays of Earl Lovelace, Mustapha Matura and Dennis Scott. The project will retrieve a Caribbean strand of Black British playwriting that is now usually overlooked. It will also develop a critique of accounts of British national identity that over-emphasise whiteness and fail to account for the nation's colonial construction through the exemplary case of the economic structures, racialised relations and lived experiences of British-Caribbean plantation societies, that were fundamental to the nation and yet positioned outside it. Using the work of Lovelace, Matura, and Scott to develop a reparative history of the multiple cultural translations that constituted Britishness in its colonial phase.

中央剧院和国家剧院黑人戏剧档案馆（BPA）之间的这个合作博士项目将对20世纪60年代至20世纪80年代后殖民英国国家地位的发展进行原创性描述，其根源在于厄尔·洛夫莱斯（Earl Lovelace）、穆斯塔法·马图拉（Mustapha Matura）和丹尼斯·斯科特（Dennis Scott）现在主要不为人知的戏剧。该项目将恢复加勒比地区的英国黑人剧本，现在通常被忽视。它还将对英国民族身份的描述进行批判，这些描述过分强调白人，而没有通过经济结构的典型案例来解释国家的殖民建设，种族关系和英国-加勒比种植园社会的生活经历，这些对国家来说是根本的，但却位于它之外。和斯科特发展的修复历史的多种文化翻译，构成英国在其殖民阶段。
