The Oxford Companion to American Theatre

Third Edition, Two Volumes

Thoroughly revised, this distinguished volume provides an up-to-date guide to the American stage from its beginnings to the present. The Companion includes entries on playwrights, plays, actors, directors, producers, songwriters, famous playhouses, dramatic movements and much more. The book covers not only classic works, but also many commercially successful plays, and includes entries on foreign figures that have influenced American theatre. New entries include contemporary plays such as Angels in America and Six Degrees of Separation, performers such as Eric Bogosian and Bill Irwin, playwrights like David Henry Hwang and Wendy Wasserstein, and relevant developments and issues including AIDS in American theatre, theatrical producing by Disney, and the rise in solo performance. Critics have hailed its "wealth of authoritative information" (Back Stage ), its "fascinating picture of the volatile American stage" (The Guardian), and its "well-chosen, illuminating facts" (Newsday ). Accessible and authoritative, this valuable A-Z reference is ideal for anyone with a passion for the stage.
