About this book

Women are at the center of American theatre and have the potential to shape the cultural imagination of theatre-goers as a complex new era unfolds. Sarah Ruhl, one of the twenty-first century's most honored playwrights, is read in concert with her contemporaries whose writing also wrestles with the vexing issues facing Americans in the new century.

Reviews

'In this well-focused, vividly written study focusing on the last decade, Durham examines gender and sexuality, and the evolving nature of feminism . . . The author has provided an essential analysis and opened the door for scholars to delve more deeply into the aesthetics and content arising within this latest movement in contemporary theatre. Summing Up: Highly Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through faculty, theatre professionals, and general readers.' - CHOICE
