Methuen Drama Anthology of American Women Playwrights: 1970 - 2020

This book celebrates the iconoclastic power of seven American women playwrights who pushed their work outside the box of conventional drama.

To support student use, each play is accompanied by a short introduction. This provides the biographical background of the playwright as well as discussing the dramatic style of her writing, the extent to which her work is informed by and against the major playwrights of the period and how the specific work illustrates the overarching themes which her body of work addresses. Also covered are the historical and cultural context in which the play was presented, the feminist political context of the playwright and the performance practice of productions of the play.
