Description

Theater of the Ridiculous is a significant movement that highlighted the radical possibilities inherent in camp.

Much of contemporary theater owes this form a great debt but little has been written about its history or aesthetic markers.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the important practitioners, along with critical commentary of their work. Beginning with Ridiculous’ most recognizable name, Charles Ludlam, the author traces the development of this campy, queer genre, from the B movies of Maria Montez to the Pop Art scene of Andy Warhol to the founding of the Play-House of the Ridiculous and the dawn of Ludlam’s career and finally to the contemporary theater scene.
