Unrivalled in its coverage of recent work and writers, The Methuen
Drama Guide to Contemporary American Playwrights surveys and
analyses the breadth, vitality and development of theatrical work
to emerge from America over the last fifty years. This
authoritative guide leads you through the work of 25 major
contemporary American playwrights, discussing more than 140 plays
in detail. Written by a team of 25 eminent international scholars,
each chapter provides: · a biographical introduction to the
playwright’s work; · a survey and concise analysis of the
writer's most important plays; · a discussion of their style,
dramaturgical concerns and critical reception; · a bibliography of
published plays and a select list of critical works. Among the many
Tony, Obie and Pulitzer prize-winning playwrights included are Sam
Shepard, Tony Kushner, Suzan-Lori Parks, August Wilson, Paula Vogel
and Neil LaBute. The abundance of work analysed enables fresh,
illuminating conclusions to be drawn about the development of
contemporary American playwriting.
