Apocalypse, with its promise of millenarian transformation, has been one of the twentieth century's powerful driving forces, in aesthetics as in politics. This special Millennium Issue of Theater offers a radical rethinking of theatrical modernism and the avant-garde in the light of apocalypse -- the violent destruction of the old to "Make It New", as Ezra Pound urged. This major collection of essays and play texts explores how modernist theater both reflected and contributed to the century's unparalleled social and political upheavals. Featuring previously unpublished texts and translations by Karl Kraus, Tennessee Williams, Heiner Muller, and David Cole, this collection shows that twentieth-century theater transformed many of the traditional elements of classic apocalyptic literature for modern ends. The volume's contributors consider playwrights, theories, and movements spanning the past one hundred years, providing a startling new perspective on modern drama from Ibsen and Jarry to Adrienne Kennedy and Tony Kushner.
