Disaster capitalism is an increasingly popular critical paradigm
for contextualizing and understanding life in the twenty-first
century. This book includes three full-length plays by
award-winning dramatist Rick Mitchell: "Shadow Anthropology," a
dark comedy about the US occupation of Afghanistan; "Through the
Roof," a Faustian trip through the social history of natural
disaster in New Orleans; and "Celestial Flesh," a sacrilegious romp
through the 1980s sanctuary movement. Placing the plays in
historical and thematic context, the author introduces the
collection with an essay examining catastrophe, capitalism, and
what he calls "Apocalypse Theater for the Twenty-First
Century."
