Theater of the Avant-Garde,1950-2000A Critical Anthology

Edited by Robert Knopf and Julia Listengarten

This critical anthology assembles an international selection of

influential avant-garde plays from the second half of the twentieth

century. Supplemented by essays by major theater practitioners, the

book approaches the recent avant-garde as a non-linear, pluralistic

phenomenon, includes collaborative constructed scripts, and

highlights the complex dynamic between avant-garde text and

performance.

Robert Knopf is chair and professor of theater and dance,

University at Buffalo/SUNY. Julia Listengarten is associate

professor of theater, University of Central Florida.
