Hailing from the UK, Lara Cox is based in France where she works as a teacher of English at university level. Her first book (2018) explored ways in which the Theatre of the Absurd may speak meaningfully to twenty-first century audiences versed in queer and intersectional feminist social justice politics. She is interested in Anglo-French transcultural practices in performance, theatre, and theory, and is in the early stages of developing a book-length project on decolonizing contemporary theatre processes in France, the US, and the UK.
