Theatre has often served as a touchstone for moments of political
change or national definition and as a way of exploring cultural
and ethnic identity. In this book Steve Wilmer selects key
historical moments in American history and examines how the
theatre, in formal and informal settings, responded to these
events. The book moves from the Colonial fight for independence,
through Native American struggles, the Socialist Worker play, the
Civil Rights Movement, and up to works of the last decade,
including Tony Kushner's Angels in America. In addition to
examining theatrical events and play texts, Wilmer also considers
audience reception and critical response.
