Solange Ayache obtained her PhD in English literature from Paris-Sorbonne University and the University of Sheffield in 2017. In her thesis, entitled “‘In-Yer-Head’ Theatre: Staging the Mind in Contemporary British Drama. Towards a Quantum Psychopoetics of the Stage”, she examined the poetic modalities through which a number of British plays from the past two decades explore mental spaces, from traumatic mindscapes to psychological and neurological disorders, and paradoxically renew stage realism using quantum theories as metaphors. She has shared her work on contemporary theatre in international conference papers and articles published in peer-reviewed journals. She has taught in French, British and American universities, and currently holds a temporary teaching position in a middle school in Versailles, France for the year 2017-18.
