| Description: |
Deals with the Vietnam War and the fate of protest theatre in the television age. In Part One, this book discusses American examples of the genre, such as MacBird and Viet Rock, as well as representative works from England, Austria, Germany, and France. In Part Two, it investigates several theoretical issues raised by Vietnam protest theatre. |
| Synopsis: |
... a thoughtful and important treatment of the international tensions of the period as they were embodied in theatre practice. It is the only book of its kind on the subject, and a valuable source of production information." -Theatre Journal... an excellent discussion of the aesthetics of theater." -ChoiceThe escalation of the war in Vietnam in the mid-1960s unleashed worldwide protest. Playwrights grappled with the complexities of post-imperialist politics and with the problems of creating effective political theatre in the television age. The ephemeral theatre these writers created, today little-known and rarely studied, provides an important window on a complex moment in culture and history. |
