The Changing American Theatre Mainstream And Marginal Past And Present

by Yvonne Shafer, The Changing American Theatre Mainstream And Marginal Past And Present Books available in PDF, EPUB, Kindle, Docs and Mobi Format. Download The Changing American Theatre Mainstream And Marginal Past And Present books, Aquest llibre d'assajos presenta una panoràmica del desenvolupament del teatre nord-americà des de principis del segle XIX fins a l'actualitat. Mostra els canvis que el teatre va reflectir a mesura que creixia el país i es modificava la societat. Amb cada dècada, una expressió més completa de la cultura nord-americana, amb la seva gran varietat, apareixia en obres de teatre, musicals i revistes. Els assajos analitzen els esforços de figures marginals -sobretot dramaturgs i productors no comercials, afro-americans i dones- per dur a terme una ampliació de l'espectre del teatre nord-americà quant a la dramatúrgia, disseny, representació i construcció dramàtica.
