The Decades of Modern American Drama series provides a
comprehensive survey and study of the theatre produced in each
decade from the 1930s to 2009 in eight volumes. Each volume equips
readers with a detailed understanding of the context from which
work emerged: an introduction considers life in the decade with a
focus on domestic life and conditions, social changes, culture,
media, technology, industry and political events; while a chapter
on the theatre of the decade offers a wide-ranging and thorough
survey of theatres, companies, dramatists, new movements and
developments in response to the economic and political conditions
of the day. The work of the four most prominent playwrights from
the decade receives in-depth analysis and re-evaluation by a team
of experts, together with commentary on their subsequent work and
legacy. A final section brings together original documents such as
interviews with the playwrights and with directors, drafts of play
scenes, and other previously unpublished material. The major
playwrights and their works to receive in-depth coverage in this
volume include: * David Rabe: The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel;
Sticks and Bones; and Streamers; * Sam Shepard: Curse of the
Starving Class; Buried Child; and True West; * Ntozake Shange: For
colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf;
Spell #7; and Boogie-Woogie Landscapes * Richard Foreman: Sophia =
(Wisdom) Part 3; The Cliffs; Pandering to the Masses: A
Misrepresentation; and Rhoda in Potatoland (Her Fall-Starts).
