Produktbeschreibung

A Sourcebook of Feminist Theatre and Performance brings together key articles first published in The Drama Review (TDR), to provide an intriguing overview of the development of feminist theatre and performance. Divided into the categories of "history", "theory", "interviews", and "text", the materials in this collection allow the reader to consider the developments of feminist theatre through a variety of perspectives. This book contains the seminal texts of theorists such as Elin Diamond, Peggy Phelan, and Lynda Hart, interviews with performance artists including Anna Deveare Smith and Robbie McCauley, and the full performance texts of Holly Hughes' Dress Suits to Hire and Karen Finley's The Constant State of Desire. The outstanding diversity of this collection makes for an invaluable sourcebook.
