Trish Reid

Professor Trish Reid is affiliated with the School of Arts and Communication Design at the University of Reading. Her work focuses on Scottish theatre, contemporary drama, and political performance, analyzing intersections of identity, cultural policy, and sociopolitical critique.

Her research examines dystopian narratives, gender representation, and post-devolutionary Scottish identity through publications on playwrights like Anthony Neilson and Debbie Tucker Green. She contributes to British theatre historiography and explores historical reenactment in modern contexts.

Recent articles emphasize apocalyptic dramaturgies, emotional resistance, and regional-nation dynamics, reflecting trends in theatre as a political tool. She co-edits critical collections, including studies on 20th-century British theatre and contemporary Scottish performance.
