Readers and acolytes of the vital early 1950s-mid 1960s writers
known as the Beat Generation tend to be familiar with the prose and
poetry by the seminal authors of this period: Jack Kerouac, Gregory
Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Diane Di Prima, and many others. Yet
all of these authors, as well as other less well-known Beat
figures, also wrote plays-and these, together with their
countercultural approaches to what could or should happen in the
theatre-shaped the dramatic experiments of the playwrights who came
after them, from Sam Shepard to Maria Irene Fornes, to the many
vanguard performance artists of the seventies. This volume, the
first of its kind, gathers essays about the exciting work in drama
and performance by and about the Beat Generation, ranging from the
well-known Beat figures such as Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs, to
the "Afro-Beats" - LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), Bob Kaufman, and
others. It offers original studies of the women Beats - Di Prima,
Bunny Lang - as well as groups like the Living Theater who in this
era first challenged the literal and physical boundaries of the
performance space itself.
