Urban Drama: The Metropolis in Contemporary North American Plays - Paperback

by J. Chris Westgate (Author)

Identifying an apprehension about the nature and constitution of urbanism in North American plays, Westgate examines how cities like New York City and Los Angeles became focal points for identity politics and social justice at the end of the twentieth century, and how urban crises inform the dramaturgy of contemporary playwrights.
