Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Clybourne park had its UK premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London. Set in Chicago, the play "applies a modern twist to the issues of race and housing and aspirations for a better life." It is loosely based on real events. The first act depicts the racial atmosphere in Chicago in 1959. The second act is set in 2009 in the same house where a white couple wants to move into the now-gentrifying black neighborhood. The premise is gentrification, but Norris bares much more. He peels away layers of propriety with acuity, subtlety, and boldness. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In downstate Illinois, four men convicted of sex crimes against minors share a group home where they live out their lives in the shadow of the offences they committed. A man shows up to confront his childhood abuser but does he want closure or retribution?Bruce Norris's provocative play Downstate zeroes in on the limits of our compassion and what happens when society deems anyone beyond forgiveness.Downstate received its UK premiere at the National Theatre, London, in March 2019, in the same production which had its world premiere at Steppenwolf Theatre, Chicago, in September 2018.'You can hear a pin-drop for most of the evening except when you are laughing in shock or reeling in surprise. an astonishing piece of writing, which fulfils art's profound function of making you look and think hard about complex, difficult moral issues WhatsOnStage'A haunting vision of sex abuse by a playwright with a gift for unsettling Norris handles the subject matter nimbly an uncomfortable experience, flecked with humour but bleak and haunting. It raises deeply awkward questions about revenge, revulsion and forgiveness' Evening Standard'A smart, acutely funny, important piece of work Bruce Norris has a lightness of touch which prevents the grim subject matter from a descent into preachiness in an arena where reasoned debate is routinely shouted down, Bruce Norris has proved to be a necessary voice' Telegraph'An unsentimental act of compassion and a devastating entertainment, a wry polemic and the darkest of dark comedies' Chicago Reader'[An] audacious, highly charged play' Daily Herald A provocative play about four men convicted of sex crimes, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Clybourne Park.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Condition: Sehr gut. XV, 254 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag am Buchrücken leicht bestoßen, sonst ein tadelloses Exemplar / Dust jacket slightly bumped at spine, otherwise a pristine copy. - Described by Martin Luther King Jr. as both moral reflection and political act, the performance of civil disobedience in the face of unjust laws is, Patrice Rankine argues, a deeply artistic practice. Modern parallels to King s civil disobedience can be found in black theater, where the black body challenges the normative assumptions of classical texts and modes of creation. Rankine utilizes Aristotles Poetics to understand the theater of civil disobedience. He ably invokes the six aspects of Aristotelian drama character, story, thought, spectacle, song, and diction to demonstrate the re-appropriation and rejection of these themes in the works of black playwrights August Wilson, Adrienne Kennedy, Eugene O Neill, and others. And from this exercise, Aristotle and Black Drama derives from the theater of civil disobedience a tension that still exists between modernity and black identity. / Contents List of Illustrations Prologue 1 Introduction Civil Disobedience as Resistance to Tradition and Performance 2 Classical Origins of Character and Adrienne Kennedy s Funnyhouse of a Negro, Electra, and Orestes 3 The Oedipus Story and the Perfect Play, or the Gospel According to Rita Dove The Darker Face of the Earth and Sonata Mulattica: A Life in Five Movements and a Short Play 4 Racial Intent and Dramatic Form Eugene O Neill s All God s Chillun Got Wings and The Emperor Jones 5 Aristotle s "Spectacle" and August Wilson s "Spectacle Character" Joe Turner s Come and Gone 6 Freedom Songs and Metaphors of Healing Eugene O Neill s Mourning Becomes Electra, Lorraine Hansberry s A Raisin in the Sun, and Suzan-Lori Parks Venus and Topdog/Underdog 7 Civil Disobedience, Truth and Reconciliation, and the Cosmopolitan Citizen Charles Smith s The Gospel According to James, Thomas Bradshaw s Mary, David Mamet s Race, and Bruce Norris Clybourne Park Epilogue References Index.
