A dangerous, dissident text that draws on the conventions of absurdist theater, the play can be viewed as the dark culmination of Chamberlain's profound, career-long exploration of individuality, belonging, incarceration, imaginative freedom and the social role of the artist. It is also a startlingly candid articulation of her own emotional and psychological \"internment\" at the time. This edition includes a wealth of additional material, including Chamberlain's own sketches, photographs of the play in performance, an interview with the lead actor, a contemporary review of the play's performance, and an in-depth essay contextualizing Chamberlain's literary techniques and influences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brenda Chamberlain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908069961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908069962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Parthian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Brenda Chamberlain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486258147583,"sku":"9781908069962","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7b35887-5fe7-47e1-9315-e8906e647bb1.jpg?v=1778054577","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-protagonists-brenda-chamberlain-9781908069962","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
