Book Synopsis Modern Anglophone Drama by Women by : Alan P. Barr

Download or read book Modern Anglophone Drama by Women written by Alan P. Barr and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan P. Barr has brought together eleven world-class modern plays by women that show not only their artistry but also their variety and their passion. Drawn from nine different countries (other than the United States and England) that use English as their literary language, the plays reflect the concerns of women across the globe. The imagery and dramatic conventions may shift and the tones vary, but the need to be strong (and its difficulty), the sense of a world that is anything but nurturing or ideal, and the suspect nature of family life and relations are constant themes. The struggle over language, in countries that are very often ex-colonies, conveys the frequent overlap between feminist and postcolonial focuses. The diversity of Englishes on stages from Singapore to South Africa is a lovely curtain call to this theater festival.
