Each volume equips readers with a detailed understanding of the context from which work emerged: an introduction considers life in the decade with a focus on domestic life and conditions, social changes, culture, media, technology, industry and political events; while a chapter on the theatre of the decade offers a wide-ranging and thorough survey of theatres, companies, dramatists, new movements and developments in response to the economic and political conditions of the day. The work of the four most prominent playwrights from the decade receives in-depth analysis and re-evaluation by a team of experts, together with commentary on their subsequent work and legacy. A final section brings together original documents such as interviews with the playwrights and with directors, drafts of play scenes, and other previously unpublished material. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe major playwrights and their plays to receive in-depth coverage in this volume include: \u003cbr\u003e* Theresa Rebeck: \u003ci\u003eOmnium Gatherum (\u003c\/i\u003e2003), \u003ci\u003eMauritius\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), and \u003ci\u003eThe Understudy\u003c\/i\u003e (2008);\u003cbr\u003e* Sarah Ruhl: \u003ci\u003eEurydice\u003c\/i\u003e (2003), \u003ci\u003eClean House\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), and \u003ci\u003eIn the Next Room (or the Vibrator Play) \u003c\/i\u003e(2009);\u003cbr\u003e* Lynn Nottage: \u003ci\u003e Intimate Apparel\u003c\/i\u003e (2003), \u003ci\u003eFabulation or Re-Education of Undine\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), and \u003ci\u003eRuined \u003c\/i\u003e(2008);\u003cbr\u003e* Charles Mee: \u003ci\u003eBig Love\u003c\/i\u003e (2000), \u003ci\u003eWintertime\u003c\/i\u003e (2005), and \u003ci\u003eHotel Cassiopeia\u003c\/i\u003e (2006).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Listengarten\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Theatre and Coordinator of Graduate Studies at the University of Central Florida, USA.
