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documents such as interviews with the playwrights and with directors, drafts of play scenes, and other previously unpublished material.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 works to receive in-depth coverage in this volume include: \u003cbr\u003e* David Rabe: \u003ci\u003eThe Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSticks and Bones\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eStreamers\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003cbr\u003e* Sam Shepard: \u003ci\u003eCurse of the Starving Class\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eBuried Child\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eTrue West\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003cbr\u003e* Ntozake Shange: \u003ci\u003eFor colored girls who have considered suicide\/when the rainbow is enuf\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSpell #7\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eBoogie-Woogie Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Richard Foreman: \u003ci\u003eSophia = (Wisdom) Part 3; \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Cliffs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e; \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ePandering to the Masses: A \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eMisrepresentation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e;\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e and Rhoda in Potatoland \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e(Her Fall-Starts). \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Vanden Heuvel\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor and former Chair of Theatre and Drama, and current Chair of the Integrated Liberal Studies Program, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.
