Sarah Gorman

The Theatre of Richard Maxwell and the New York City Players (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses a clear and accessible voice to situate Maxwell's work within the context of contemporary American culture and international theatre practice. Through a close reading of theatre productions and plays, Gorman identifies how Maxwell renders the conventions of both realist theatre and everyday American culture strange. Touching upon the acting, production, and rehearsal processes of NYC Player's work, and Maxwell's representations of space, community, race, and gender, this volume provides scholars with an important overview of a key figure in contemporary drama.
