Constituting the first comprehensive look at Ruth Maleczech's work,
Jessica Brater's companion is a landmark study in innovative
theatre practice, bringing together biography, critical analysis,
and original interviews to establish a portrait of this Obie-award
winning theatre artist. Tracing Maleczech's background, training,
and influences, the volume contextualizes her work and the founding
of Mabou Mines within the wider landscape of American avant-garde
theatre. It considers her performances and productions, revealing
both her interest in making ordinary women important onstage, and
her predilection for resurrecting extraordinary women from history
and finding their resonances within a contemporary theatrical
context. Brater considers Maleczech's investment in redrawing the
boundaries of what women are allowed to say, both on stage and off,
and shows how her commitment to radical artistic and production
risks has reshaped the contours of a contemporary theatrical
experience. Highlights of the volume include discussion of
productions such as Mabou Mines' Lear, Dead End Kids, Hajj, Lucia's
Chapters of Coming Forth by Day, Red Beads, and La Divina
Caricatura, as well as a close look at Maleczech's final
work-in-progress, Imagining the Imaginary Invalid.
