American Playwriting and the Anti-Political Prejudice Twentieth- and Twenty-First-Century Perspectives

Description

Twenty years after Tony Kushner's influential Angels in America seemed to declare a revitalized potency for the popular political play, there is a "No Politics" prejudice undermining US production and writing. This book explores the largely unrecognized cultural patterns that discourage political playwriting on the contemporary American stage.
