Breaking new ground in this century, this wide-ranging collection
of essays is the first of its kind to address the work of
contemporary international women playwrights. The book considers
the work of established playwrights such as Caryl Churchill, Marie
Clements, Lara Foot-Newton, Maria Irene Fornes, Sarah Kane, Lisa
Kron, Young Jean Lee, Lynn Nottage, Suzan-Lori Parks, Djanet Sears,
Caridad Svich, and Judith Thompson, but it also foregrounds
important plays by many emerging writers. Divided into three
sections--Histories, Conflicts, and Genres--the book explores such
topics as the feminist history play, solo performance,
transcultural dramaturgies, the identity play, the gendered terrain
of war, and eco-drama, and encompasses work from the United States,
Canada, Latin America, Oceania, South Africa, Egypt, and the United
Kingdom.
With contributions from leading international scholars and an
introductory overview of the concerns and challenges facing women
playwrights in this new century, "Contemporary Women Playwrights"
explores the diversity and power of women's playwriting since 1990,
highlighting key voices and examining crucial critical and
theoretical developments within the field.
