The book considers the work of established playwrights such as Caryl Churchill, Marie Clements, Lara Foot-Newton, Maria Irene Fornes, Sarah Kane, Lisa Kron, Young Jean Lee, Lynn Nottage, Suzan-Lori Parks, Djanet Sears, Caridad Svich, and Judith Thompson, but it also foregrounds important plays by many emerging writers. Divided into three sections-Histories, Conflicts, and Genres-the book explores such topics as the feminist history play, solo performance, transcultural dramaturgies, the identity play, the gendered terrain of war, and eco-drama, and encompasses work from the United States, Canada, Latin America, Oceania, South Africa, Egypt, and the United Kingdom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith contributions from leading international scholars and an introductory overview of the concerns and challenges facing women playwrights in this new century, \u003ci\u003eContemporary Women Playwrights\u003c\/i\u003e explores the diversity and power of women's playwriting since 1990, highlighting key voices and examining crucial critical and theoretical developments within the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penny Farfan, Lesley Ferris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137270780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137270788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Penny Farfan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45481878814975,"sku":"9781137270788","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6349b333-bf2a-4760-b7c7-dd5b63b22797.jpg?v=1715987950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-women-playwrights-penny-farfan-9781137270788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
