The early years of the twenty-first century saw several losses for
the American theatre but also marked the emergence of a new
generation of exciting playwrights. In this book, Christopher
Bigsby explores the work of nine of these developing talents, and
the importance of issues including race, gender and politics for
their writing. Increasingly, these new figures are gaining their
reputations not on Broadway but in small theatres and small towns
or even abroad, bringing fresh and diverse perspectives to
contemporary American drama. With a focus on female writers and on
issues of personal and public identity in contemporary society,
this volume investigates the styles and techniques these
playwrights favour, the themes they raise, and their role in a
changing America and a changing world.
