内容简介
In this new edition of the widely acclaimed Modern American Drama Christopher Bigsby completes his survey of post-war and contemporary theatre and brings the reader up to 2000.While retaining the key elements of the first edition, including surveys of those major figures who have shaped post-war American drama, such as Eugene ONeill, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Edward Albee, David Mamet and Sam Shepard, Bigsby also explores the most recent works and performances: these include plays by established dramatists such as Millers The Ride down Mount Morgan and Albees Three Tall Women, as well as works by relatively newer playwrights Paula Vogel, Tony Kushner and Terrence McNally among others. Bigsby also provides a new chapter, Beyond Broadway, and offers an analysis of how theatre has formed and influenced the millennial culture of America.
