Produktbeschreibung
In this timely study about Richard Maxwell and the New York City Players, Gorman, in consultation with Maxwell, surveys the plays written and performances directed since 1996. Touching on the work Maxwell produced with colleagues in Cook County Theater Department (Chicago 1991-1997); the acting, production and rehearsal processes of NYC Playera (TM)s work (including observations from the rehearsal room); and Maxwell's representations of space, community, race, and gender, this volume provides scholars with an important overview of a key figure in contemporary drama.
This book uses a clear and accessible voice to situate Maxwell¿s work within the context of contemporary American culture and international theatre practice. Through a close reading of theatre productions and plays, Gorman identifies how Maxwell renders the conventions of both realist theatre and everyday American culture strange. Touching upon the acting, production, and rehearsal processes of NYC Player¿s work, and Maxwell's representations of space, community, race, and gender, this volume provides scholars with an important overview of a key figure in contemporary drama.
