About this ebook
Este libro de ensayos presenta una panorámica del desarrollo del teatro norteamericano desde principios del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad. Muestra los cambios que el teatro reflejó a medida que crecía el país y se modificaba la sociedad. Con cada década, una expresión más completa de la cultura norteamericana, con su gran variedad, aparecía en obras de teatro, musicales y revistas. Los ensayos analizan los esfuerzos de figuras marginales 'sobre todo dramaturgos y productores no comerciales, afro-americanos y mujeres' para llevar a cabo una ampliación del espectro del teatro norteamericano en cuanto a la dramaturgia, diseño, representación y construcción dramática.
