In ALARUMS & EXCURSIONS: OUR THEATRES IN THE 90's, drama critic and stage director Charles Marowitz casts a critical eye upon the highpoints of the last theatrical decade, in preparation for a new millennium. In a series of reviews, think- pieces, and commentaries culled from publications as varied as The London Times and Theatre Week Magazine, Marowitz surveys such watershed productions such as Oleanna, Angels in America, Phantom of the Opera, The Kentucky Cycle and Sunset Boulevard and the work of such major American playwrights as Mamet, Shepard, Neil Simon, Gurney, Kushner, Baitz, Overmeyer, and McNalley. Marowitz dramatically captures the anger, anxiety, spectacle, and questionable "correctness" that characterized the past decade. |
