America's fascination with Shakespeare is a curious singularity,
and this book looks at one of the most recent examples of this
strange marriage: the NEA's program, "Shakespeare in American
Communities" (SIAe. Through a close analysis of a SIAC materials
and reactions, this book uncovers the ideology that courses through
the program. This ideology is one of patriotism, democracy,
diversity and decency; Shakespeare has been appropriated to a
specifically American context in order to promote ideals that are
in line with the current conservative trend in politics.
The seven plays to date of Yasmina Reza, one of France's most
prominent female playwrights, are popular both in France and
abroad. Despite her commercial success, her plays have often been
ignored in academic circles, and few scholars have attempted to
explore the mechanics of her playwriting. This text seeks to unpack
the essentials of Reza's style and to explore each play as a
component of Reza's theatrical oeuvre. The result is a fuller
understanding of her theatrical poetics and her development as an
artist.
