Modern American Drama: Playwriting in the 1960s
Author: Mike Sell
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350153613
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
The Decades of Modern American Drama series provides a comprehensive survey and study of the theatre produced in each decade from the 1930s to 2009 in eight volumes. Each volume equips readers with a detailed understanding of the context from which work emerged: an introduction considers life in the decade with a focus on domestic life and conditions, social changes, culture, media, technology, industry and political events; while a chapter on the theatre of the decade offers a wide-ranging and thorough survey of theatres, companies, dramatists, new movements and developments in response to the economic and political conditions of the day. The work of the four most prominent playwrights from the decade receives in-depth analysis and re-evaluation by a team of experts, together with commentary on their subsequent work and legacy. A final section brings together original documents such as interviews with the playwrights and with directors, drafts of play scenes, and other previously unpublished material. The major playwrights and their plays to receive in-depth coverage in this volume include: * Edward Albee: The American Dream (1960), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962), A Delicate Balance (1966) and Tiny Alice (1964 ); * Amiri Baraka: Dutchman (1964), The Slave (1964) and Slaveship (1967); * Adrienne Kennedy: Funnyhouse of a Negro (1964), Cities in Bezique (The Owl Answers and A Beast's Story, 1969), and A Rat's Mass (1967); * Jean-Claude van Itallie: American Hurrah (1966), The Serpent (1968) and War (1963).

Encounter God
Author: Steve Curtis
Publisher: Steve Curtis
ISBN: 1441434631
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
Everyone must respond to the Divine Imperative. Ultimately, everyone answers God with a "yes" or a "no." This book explores the ways in which we submit our response. An Absent faith is agnosticism as regards biblical Truth. Every person begins at this stage. Everyone who hears the gospel must then respond to it. And once one has been presented with the gospel, there are but two possible responses: "yes" or "no." If the response is no, there are two general options: a Belligerent opposition to God (i.e., atheism), or an acceptance of a Counterfeit religion. If the response is yes, there are likewise two variations: a poorly understood and Defeated faith that constricts more than it delivers, or, optimally, an Examined faith that exalts in the grace of God, delights in His promises, and worships Him in the beauty of His holiness. This book is intended to lead the readers to this final response through a reasonable and thoughtful consideration of the truths that challenge such a faith.
