Description
Providing a comprehensive overview of the most daring and aggressive period in the history of Afro-American theatre, this study goes beyond an analysis of the major new playwrights and the plays that shaped the movement. The philosophies and dramatic styles of the most important theatre companies and the contributions of the individual artists who spearheaded their creation are also discussed. Finally the role of the Black producer, who often functioned as director and writer as well, is considered.
