Theater has always been the site of visionary hopes for a reformed
national future and a space for propagating ideas, both cultural
and political, and such a conceptualization of the histrionic art
is all the more valuable in the post-9/11 era. The essays in this
volume address the concept of « Americanness and the perceptions of
the « alien--as ethnic, class or gendered minorities--as dealt with
in the work of American playwrights from Anna Cora Mowatt, through
Rachel Crothers or Susan Glaspell, and on to Sam Shepard, David
Mamet, Nilo Cruz or Wallace Shawn. The authors of the essays come
from a multi-national university background that includes the
United States, the United Arab Emirates and various countries of
the European Community. In recognition of the multiple components
of drama, the essays for the volume were selected in order to
exemplify different aspects and theories of theater studies: the
playwright, the play, the audience and the actor are all examined
as part of the theatrical experience that serves to formulate
American national identity.
