Description

"In this exciting new anthology, Wesley Brown and Aimée K.

Michel bring together six wonderfully teachable plays by some of the greatest American women dramatists of the past fifty years-- Ntozake Shange, Suzan-Lori Parks, Paula Vogel, Lynn Nottage, Beth Henley, and Susan Yankowitz. The editors provide a helpful Introduction to the last 100 years of theatrical activity, from suffrage and anti-lynching plays, through the explosive 1960s, to recent Broadway triumphs, highlighting women’s struggle—a struggle that continues--to put their vision and voices on the American stage." Elin Diamond, Rutgers University, USAThis volume celebrates the iconoclastic power of six American women playwrights who pushed the boundaries of the form outside the box of conventional drama. Each play is accompanied by a short introduction providing the biographical background of the playwright as well as discussing the dramatic style of her writing, the extent to which her work is informed by major playwrights of the period, and how the specific work illustrates the overarching themes of her body of work. The plays included are:Gun by Susan YankowitzSpell #7: geechee jibara quik magic trance manual fortechnologically stressed third world people by Ntozake ShangeThe Jacksonian by Beth HenleyThe Baltimore Waltz by Paula VogelIn the Blood by Suzan-Lori ParksIntimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage
