[ebooks] Feeling Theatre by Martin Welton in Arts-Photography

Description

Violence against women in plays bywomen has earned little mention. This revolutionary collection fills that gap; focusing on plays by American women dramatists; written in the last thirty years; that deal with different forms of gender violence. Each author discusses specific manifestations of violence in carefully selected plays: psychological; familial; war-time; and social injustice. This book encompasses the theatrical devices used to represent violence on the stage in an age of virtual; immediate reality as much as the problematics of gender violence in modern society.
