Description:... Charts the rise of a distinctly American theatre from its traitional English foundations through the radical experiments of off-off-Broadway. Concentrating on the last eighty years, with almost half the book devoted to the theatre after World War II, he traces the development of unmistakably American theatrical forms, subjects, stagecraft, character types, and acting styles.
