                            <p>Mevcut makale, Roy Williams ve Clint Dyer’ın Death of England üçlemesi aracılığıyla, Birleşik Krallık’ta Brexit sonrası dönemde siyasi kimliklerin ve kültürel çatışmaların kesişimini incelemektedir. Hâlihazırda derin kimlik bölünmeleriyle şekillenen Birleşik Krallık’ta bireylerin kimlik, aidiyet ve milliyetçilikle nasıl yüzleştiklerini ve değişen sosyo-politik bağlamda bu kavramları nasıl yeniden tanımladıklarını ele almaktadır. Üçlemenin ilk oyunu Death of England, Michael’ın babası Alan’ın milliyetçi ve yabancı karşıtı görüşleriyle hesaplaşmasını konu alır. Oyun, Brexit’in bireysel ve kuşaklar arası gerilimleri nasıl gün yüzüne çıkardığını inceleyerek kimlik krizlerini kişisel düzlemde ele alır. İkinci oyun Death of England: Delroy, anlatıyı Siyah Britanyalı bir karakter olan Delroy’un perspektifine kaydırarak, Delroy’un marjinalleşmesine rağmen Avrupa Birliği’nden ayrılma yönünde oy kullanmasını tartışır. Bu çatışma, ırk, göç ve sınıf dinamiklerinin milliyetçi söylemlerle nasıl iç içe geçtiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Death of England: Closing Time ise kadın karakterler Carly ve Denise’in perspektifine odaklanarak ulusal kimlik siyasetinin toplumsal cinsiyet boyutuna eleştirel bir bakış sunar. Makalede, aynı zamanda başlığını da aldığı Sobolewska ve Ford’un (2020) &quot;Brexitland&quot; kavramından yararlanılarak, Brexit’in geleneksel ekonomik sınıf çatışmalarını geri planda bırakarak kimlik temelli ayrışmaları ön plana çıkardığı tartışılmaktadır. Sonuç olarak oyunlar, Brexit’in yarattığı duygusal ve ideolojik kırılmaları sahneye taşıyarak tiyatronun bu dönüşümü anlamada kritik bir araç olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>

It examines how individuals in the United Kingdom, already marked by deep identity divisions, confront identity, belonging and nationalism, and how they redefine these concepts in a changing socio-political context. The first play in the trilogy, Death of England, is about Michael coming to terms with his father Alan’s nationalist and xenophobic views. The play explores how Brexit has exposed individual and generational tensions and addresses identity crises on a personal level. The second play, Death of England: Delroy, shifts the narrative to the perspective of a Black British character, examining Delroy’s vote to leave the European Union despite his marginalisation. This conflict reveals how race, immigration and class dynamics are intertwined with nationalist discourses. Death of England: Closing Time, on the other hand, critiques the gendered dimension of national identity politics by focusing on the perspectives of female characters Carly and Denise. Drawing on Soboleska and Ford’s (2020) concept of Brexitland, which also gives its title to the book, the article discusses how Brexit has pushed traditional economic class conflicts into the background and brought identity-based divisions to the forefront. As a result, the plays bring the emotional and ideological fractures created by Brexit to the stage, demonstrating that theatre is a critical tool for understanding this transformation.</p></abstract>
