| ENGLISH 105 | A PLACE OF THEIR OWN: MINORITY WOMEN PLAYWRIGHTS | OZIEBLO, B. | Women playwrights of whatever color are at a disadvantage when it comes to getting their plays onto the stage (just over 12% of plays performed in New York were by women in 2009) and yet audiences are composed mostly of women who are keen to see their concerns and "trifles" (as in Susan Glaspell's well-known play Trifles) on the stage. Looks at a selection of plays written by American women dramatists in order to explore the themes of hybridity, assimilation, and identity creation. Particular emphasis given to generational differences and to the rejection of the status of "the other." The contribution of these dramatists to American theater will also be considered, particularly the use of innovative theatrical devices and the significance of the rejection of the traditional format of the well-made play. |
