About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. <p><strong>We live in times of crisis. How has the theatre responded? Has the theatre lived up to its essential purpose: to âhold up the mirrorâ to our turbulent times?</strong></p> <p>This book will look at the courageous responses from dozens of playwrights over the past hundred years, writing about urgent issues â from World War II to communism, apartheid, the AIDs epidemic, gay hate crime, urban race riots, conflict in the Middle East, Africa, and Afghanistan, systemic racism, immigrant identity, the refugee crisis, authoritarianism, failing educational systems, environmental peril, and, most recently, the pandemic. These dedicated writers (from four continents) and the theatres who support them have taken huge risks to heighten our awareness to the urgent issues of our times. This book will acknowledge the exciting new dramatic forms they have created, their heroic efforts, and the changes that they have provoked and continue to do so.</p> <p><strong>CRISIS </strong><em>contains discussion of the following plays:</em></p> <p><em>Disgraced;</em> <em>Grounded;</em> <em>Mother Courage and Her Children;</em> <em>Guantanamo: âHonor Bound to Defend Freedom.â;</em> <em>The Niceties;</em> <em>Black Watch;</em> <em>An Ordinary Muslim; </em><em>A Number;</em> <em>Blue Heart;</em> <em>Cloud Nine;</em> <em>Escaped Alone; Far Away;</em> <em>American Moor;</em><em>Ainât No Mo; </em><em>Fairview;</em><em> Death of England and Death of England: Delroy; </em><em>Blood Knot and Other Plays;</em> <em>Three Port Elizabeth Plays;</em> <em>âMaster Haroldâ⦠and the boys;</em> <em>Eclipsed;</em> <em>Beat the Devil: A Covid Monologue; S</em><em>tuff Happens;</em> <em>Slave Play</em>; <em>1984 by George Orwell;</em> <em>An Octoroon;</em> <em>The Laramie Project and The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later;</em> <em>Mosquitos;</em> <em>The Children;</em> <em>Angels in America; </em><em>Death of a Salesman;</em> <em>Hamilton: The Revolution; </em><em>In the Heights</em>; <em>Pipeline; The Jungle;</em> <em>The Guys;</em> <em>The Apple Family: A Pandemic Trilogy;</em> <em>Ruined;</em> <em>Pass Over; </em><em>Father Comes Home from the Wars, </em>Parts 1, 2, & 3; <em>The America Play and Other Works;</em> <em>Topdog/Underdog;</em> <em>White Noise; </em><em>Rockets and Blue Lights; </em><em>The Lehman Trilogy; </em><em>Notes from the Field; Twilight Los Angeles: 1992 </em>and others.</p>
