This anthology examines maternity in contemporary performance at
the intersection of a wide range of topics from nationhood to
mental health, queer parenting, embodied dramaturgy, cultural
practice, and immigration. Across the breadth of these themes, we
interrogate the cultural implications and politics of how we
script, perform, receive, and define mothers, challenging many of
the normalizing and patriarchal tropes associated with the
mother-as-character. This book includes critical essays examining
twenty-first century dramatic literature, first-hand ethnographic
accounts of motherhood in practice, interviews, feminist
manifestos, and artist reflections. In its deliberately curated
variety, this collection seeks to resist homogeneity and offer
instead a range of approaches to key questions: what versions of
motherhood get staged, and why? And what do dramatic
representations tell us about the role of mothers in our own
fraught contemporary moment? This collection will be of great
interest to those in academia who are teaching, researching, or
studying in the fields of Theatre and Performance Studies, American
Studies, and Feminist and Gender Studies.
