Contextualizing New Plays: Studies in Theatre Concepts, Forms, and
Styles uses short, original plays as catalysts for discussing basic
theatrical concepts, dramatic forms and genres, styles of
production, thematic concerns, critical theory, and dramatic
criticism. This book uses these short form plays as instructional
tools with the pedagogical underpinnings needed to prepare students
to successfully interact with full-length scripts. Each chapter
introduces a playwright and his or her play, then discusses the
particular form and style exemplified. After exploring this
content, students are referred to longer plays of similar form and
style, and participate in both individual and group exercises and
activities that enable them to apply specific dramatic knowledge
and skills including collective creation, image-tracking, magical
realism, absurdism, and group playwriting. Contextualizing New
Plays provides a welcome alternative to anthologies of full-length
plays or working with numerous separate scripts. Developed for
courses in theatre history, play analysis, and introduction to the
theatre, it is equally suited to serve as a stand-alone text or as
a supplemental reader.
