Has the theatre lived up to its essential purpose: to “hold up the mirror” to our turbulent times?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book looks at the courageous responses from dozens of playwrights over the past hundred years, writing about urgent issues – from World War II to communism, apartheid, the AIDs epidemic, gay hate crime, urban race riots, conflict in the Middle East, Africa, and Afghanistan, systemic racism, immigrant identity, the refugee crisis, authoritarianism, failing educational systems, environmental peril, and, most recently, the pandemic. These dedicated writers (from four continents) and the theatres who support them have taken huge risks to heighten our awareness to the urgent issues of our times. This book will acknowledge the exciting new dramatic forms they have created, their heroic efforts, and the changes that they have provoked and continue to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCRISIS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003econtains discussion of the following plays:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisgraced;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eGrounded;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMother Courage and Her Children;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eGuantanamo: ‘Honor Bound to Defend Freedom.’;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Niceties;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eBlack Watch;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eAn Ordinary Muslim; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Number;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eBlue Heart;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eCloud Nine;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eEscaped Alone; Far Away;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eAmerican Moor;\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eAin’t No Mo; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eFairview;\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e Death of England and Death of England: Delroy; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlood Knot and Other Plays;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eThree Port Elizabeth Plays;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Master Harold”… and the boys;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eEclipsed;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eBeat the Devil: A Covid Monologue; S\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003etuff Happens;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSlave Play\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003e1984 by George Orwell;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eAn Octoroon;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Laramie Project and The Laramie Project:  Ten Years Later;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMosquitos;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Children;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eAngels in America; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeath of a Salesman;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eHamilton: The Revolution; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the Heights\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003ePipeline; The Jungle;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Guys;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Apple Family: A Pandemic Trilogy;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eRuined;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003ePass Over; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eFather Comes Home from the Wars, \u003c\/em\u003eParts 1, 2, \u0026amp; 3; \u003cem\u003eThe America Play and Other Works;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eTopdog\/Underdog;\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eWhite Noise; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eRockets and Blue Lights; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Lehman Trilogy; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eNotes from the Field; Twilight Los Angeles: 1992 \u003c\/em\u003eand others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salamander Street Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229239267672,"sku":"9781914228810","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781914228810.jpg?v=1765351817","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/crisis-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
