book applies playwright John Guare s statement that, the war against natural¬
ism, is the history of the American theatre in the twentieth century to selected
plays by important contemporary American playwrights. Crucial to the argument is
the recognition that a war presupposes two sides with neither side defeating the
other, for if naturalistic theatre were to win, all theatre would be linear with char¬
acters circumscribed by their heredity and environment. If non-naturalistic theatre
were to win, all theatre would be a hodgepodge of incoherent images.
After isolating elements of a naturalistic play in its philosophical and mode of pro¬
duction sense, the book examines plays that wage war in language and character.
The plays are all of the past few decades: some by Foreman and Wellman are dis¬
orienting; some by Albee, Groff, and Maxwell are controversial; others by
Eno
and
Corthron are by playwrights on the verge of major careers; still others by Overmyer
and
Jenkin
are drawing aspiring playwrights to them as models of new, exciting
writing for the theatre. All of them, whether colliding genres and styles or destabi¬
lizing meaning as in plays by Gibson and Long or reclaiming a mystery as in plays
by Ludlam,
Greenberg,
and Donagy, challenge naturalism s boundaries. The book
not only provides an approach to the contemporary American drama-theatre, but
also brings together playwrights not perceived as having any connections other
than the fact that they are creating plays today. The text is appropriate for under¬
graduate students through professors and practitioners.
