The playwright's voice

"The fifteen playwrights interviewed in this volume have breathed new life into the American theatre by incorporating the innovations of the experimental theatre of the sixties and seventies and moving forward in original and sometimes startling ways. Responding to the challenge of an increasing commercialized marketplace, they work to keep theatre alive as a force for social change.

In conversation with David Savran, they discuss their writing, influences and opinions about politics, culture and the future of the American theatre."--BOOK JACKET.
