Environmental Science A13 - Women Dramatists in America Today

Institution:

Wheaton College - Massachusetts

Subject:

Description:

Since the 1970s, when the likes of Maria Irene Fornes, Tina Howe, and Adrienne Kennedy paved the way for an explosive new generation of women devoting themselves to playwriting, the number of plays being written by women has increased exponentially. We will study a culturally and stylistically wide range of plays that reflect concerns of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class with a challenge to the idea that there's writing and then there's women's writing. Some of the playwrightswhose work we will explore are Shelley Berc, Migdalia Cruz, Lisa D'Amour, Elana Greenfield, Suzan-Lori Parks, Young Jean Lee, and Anne Washburn. (Charlotte Meehan)
