The book is an insightful and thorough examination of one of the most prominent political
dramatists in the US today,
Tony
Kushner, and his theatricalization of politics. Moreover, it
draws heavily on Kushner *s wide range of themes and techniques. As such, it will be
beneficial for graduate students and scholars who are concerned with the realm of
contemporary American drama at the threshold of the twenty-first century. In addition, the
book will appeal to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of Kushner and his major
influences such as
Bertolt Brecht,
and will also be valuable for readers with a general interest
in American drama.
This book is primarily concerned with exploring and analyzing political discourse as
dramatized in the work of Tony Kushner. The author s point of departure is the concept of
political theatre as developed by
Erwin Piscator
and
Bertolt Brecht.
This theoretical
exploration serves a double purpose: first, it is meant to provide a statement of the
definitions and concepts central to this study, such as political discourse, political theatre,
and postmodern theatre; second, it offers the tools of analysis by which to read and analyze
Tony Kushner s postmodern, politically-oriented texts. Through this, the book defines the
major features ofKushner s postmodern theatre and explores how he theatricalizes politics.
American drama in the
1980s
and the
1990s
witnessed a noticeable thematic shift from the
exclusively personal plays and musicals that once dominated American theatre for a long
period of time to an increasing number of plays which put greater emphasis on exploring
issues and questions of socio-political interest. As a result of this thematic shift, the
predominantly private settings and familial character relationships of the traditional family
play have been replaced by a great variety of public settings and non-familial characters.
Tony Kushner s theatre is a pioneering attempt in this respect. In Kushner s theatre, there is
no room for the traditional family plays which dominated the American stage in the
1960s
and
1970s.
Kushner has found that there is not enough political discourse in contemporary
American Theatre. For this reason, he writes his plays to shed special light on the politics of
American society in the
1980s,
the
1990s,
and in the beginnings of the 21st century.
