The play, which discusses the social position of contemporary art, has a design that can only be performed in a white walled art gallery where Crouch and Ringham alternate in the narration of an intense monologue. In the first act, the protagonist, whose boyfriend is a wealthy art dealer and participates in art auctions as part of his work, is portrayed as a very serious heart patient who despairingly awaits for an organ transplantation. In the second act, the protagonist, now named as English, goes to an unknown city in the Middle East to thank a Muslim widow (the wife of the donor, Hassam) who believes that her husband was killed and his heart was stolen to save a Western person’s life. The play contextualizes a different kind of exploitation within the context of transmigration and transplantation. It represents the invasion of a heart for a wealthy Westerner’s body and another country’s culture. In addition to analysing the text, this study aims to provide an overview of Tim Crouch's work and to show the themes of transformation and exploitation in ENGLAND. KW - ENGLAND KW - Exploitation KW - Tim Crouch KW - Transplantation KW - Contemporary British Theatre N2 - ENGLAND, iki sanatçı Tim Crouch ve Hannah Ringham tarafından bir sanat galerisinde sergilene bir oyundur. Çağdaş sanatın sosyal konumunu tartışan oyun, yalnızca Crouch ve Ringham'ın yoğun bir monolog anlatımında dönüşümlü olarak yer aldığı beyaz duvarlı bir sanat galerisinde oynanabilecek bir tasarıma sahiptir. İlk perdede erkek arkadaşı zengin bir sanat tüccarı olan ve işinden dolayı sanat müzayedelerine katkıda bulunan kahraman, çok ciddi bir kalp hastası olarak tasvir edilir ve umutsuzca organ naklini beklemektedir. İkinci perdede İngiliz olarak adlandırılan kahraman, Batılı kadının hayatı yüzünden kocasının öldürüldüğüne ve kalbinin çalındığına inanan dul Müslüman kadına (bağışçının karısı / Hassam) teşekkür etmek için Ortadoğu'da bilinmeyen bir şehre gider. Oyun, göç ve nakil bağlamında farklı bir sömürü türünü bağlamsallaştırır. Oyun, zengin Batılı beden için bir kalbin ve başka bir ülkenin kültürünün istilasını temsil eder. Tim Crouch'un eserlerine genel bir bakış sağlayan bu çalışma, metni analiz etmenin yanı sıra, ENGLAND oyunundaki dönüşümü ve sömürüyü göstermeyi amaçlar. CR - Bottoms, Stephen (2009).
