Description:
This book explores the most recent critical thinking on the relationship between the literary mode of the fantastic and the literary genre of drama with respect to modern theatre. Wide-ranging in time and space, the 14 essays assess 20th century dramatic works from the United States, Ireland, England, Western Europe, and the Caribbean. Canonical figures, such as Strindberg, Yeats, Beckett, Ionesco, Cocteau, and Stoppard are studied, along with neglected figures and innovative new performance troupes and individual artists. Concluding essays are devoted to contemporary experimental theatre and postmodern drama, and a study of science fiction on stage includes an annotated listing of forty English-language plays.
