Description
Plays for the Theatre, Seventh Edition, continues its rich tradition of providing insightful and absorbing plays for the contemporary stage. The goal of this edition has been to select plays that typify a wide range of cultural diversity and dramatic power, including recent plays written by an African American, an Asian American, a Latino, and an American female of Jewish heritage. Plays for the Theatre, edited by Oscar G. Brockett with Robert Ball, is a companion to The Essential Theatre, Seventh Edition, in which selections from Plays are placed within historical and cultural context, providing a richer and more rewarding exploration of the people and ideas that have shaped today's theatre.
