[edit] CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN PLAYWRIGHTS
Explores the works and influences of ten contemporary American playwrights.
Beginning in the cafes, lofts and small spaces of Off-Off Broadway, and continuing in the Off-Broadway and regional theatres of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, new American playwrights emerged committed to exploring the potential of their craft, the nature of American experience and the politics of gender and sexuality. In this study Christopher Bigsby explores the works and influences of ten contemporary American playwrights: John Guare, Tina Howe, Tony Kushner, Emily Mann, Richard Nelson, Marsha Norman, David Rabe, Paula Vogel, Wendy Wasserstein, and Lanford Wilson. Bigsby examines, in some detail, the developing careers of some of America's most fascinating and original dramatic talent. In addition to well-known works, Bigsby discusses some of the latest plays to reach the stage. This lively and accessible book, by one of the leading writers on American theatre, will be of interest to students, scholars and general theatre-goers alike.
