R1,346 Discovery Miles 13 460 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The New Generation Play Project was a daring experiment in American children's theatre. Begun in 1989 by a consortium that included the Seattle Children's Theatre, The Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis, Stage One: The Louisville Children's Theatre, and the Honolulu Theatre for Youth, the NGPP raised half a million dollars to commission major American dramatists to create new works for young people and to produce these plays over a several-year period.

This book provides the full text of the plays produced through the NGPP: Constance Congdon, Beauty and the BeastVelina Hasu Houston, Hula HeartTina Howe, East of the Sun and West of the MoonLen Jenkin, The Invisible ManMark Medoff, Kringle's WindowEric Overmyer, Duke Kahanamoku vs. The SurfnappersMichael Weller, DogbrainY York, The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In his introduction, Coleman Jennings describes the work of the NGPP, some of the controversies surrounding its selection of playwrights who do not ordinarily write for young audiences, as well as the playwrights' reactions to the project, and the critical reception of the plays. Suzan Zeder, one of the nation's leading playwrights for family audiences, supplies the foreword.

The Greek Plays (Paperback): Ellen McLaughlin The Greek Plays (Paperback)

From "The Persians"
"Defeat is impossible
Defeat is unthinkable
We have always been the favorites of fate.
Fortune has cupped us
In her golden palms.
It has only been a matter
Of choosing our desire. Which fruit
To pick from the nodding tree."

This chilling passage is from Ellen McLaughlin's new adaptation of "The Persians "by Aeschylus, the earliest surviving play in Western literature, an elegy for a fallen civi-lization and a warning to its new conqueror. As Margo Jefferson wrote in the "New York Times," "The play is a true classic: we see the present and the future right there, inside the past. And when writers give us a 'new version' (a translation or adaptation) of a classic, they both serve and use it. They serve the playwright's gifts by refusing to simplify. But they can't just imitate. Every age has its own rhythms and drives. The classic must make us feel the new acutely. Ellen McLaughlin serves and uses "The Persians "with true power and grace."

Also included in this volume: "Iphigenia and Other Daughters "(from Euripides and Sophocles); "The Trojan Women "(Euripides); "Helen "(Euripides); and "Lysistrata "(Aristophanes), all powerfully realized and as relevant today as when they were first performed.

Ellen McLaughlin's plays include "Days and Nights Within, A Narrow Bed, Infinity's House" and "Tongue of a Bird," which have been widely produced. She is a past finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and was the co-winner of the Great American Play Contest. Also an accomplished actor, Ms. McLaughlin is most known for having originated the part of the Angel in Tony Kushner's "Angels in America," appearing in every U.S. production throughits Broadway run.
