内容説明

This book offers a surprisingly different vision of the serious American drama during the late seventies and eighties with emphasis shared between textual and non-textual drama, between the Mainstream and the Avant-Garde, between drama and theatre, between individuals, groups and movements. Attention is given to performance art, dance theatre, feminist theatre, post-literary dramaturgies and post-modernism. David Hwang, August Wilson, David Mamet, Emily Mann, Richard Nelson, John Guare, Christopher Durang, David Rabe, Beth Henley, Tina Howe, Marsha Norman, Wendy Wasserstein, The Wooster Street Group, The Mabou Mines, Peter Sellars, Martha Clarke and Laurie Anderson are some of the dramatists, performing artists, directors and groups discussed.
