Performed between 1989 and 2017 in small theatres across the US, these works raise awareness about the trafficking of Native American women, marriage equality, gender justice, women's empowerment, the social stigma surrounding HIV, immigration policy, and the plight of undocumented workers. The accompanying interviews provide a fascinating insight into the plays, the artists' inspiration for them, and the importance of studying classics in the college classroom. Readers will benefit from an introduction that lays out practical ways to teach the adaptations, ideas for assignments, and the contextualization of the works within the history of classical reception. Serving as a key resource on incorporating diversity into the teaching of canonical texts for Classics, English, Drama and Theatre Studies students, this anthology is the first to present the work of a range of contemporary theatre artists who utilise ancient Greek source material to explore social, political, and economic issues affecting a variety of underrepresented communities in the US"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a American drama $x Minority authors. 650 0 $a American drama $y 20th century. 650 0 $a American drama $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Dramatists, American $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Minority authors $z United States $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Greek drama (Tragedy) $x Adaptations. 650 0 $a Social problems $v Drama. 650 0 $a Social justice $v Drama. 650 0 $a American drama $x Greek influences. 650 7 $a American drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00806998 650 7 $a American drama $x Greek influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807010 650 7 $a American drama $x Minority authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807023 650 7 $a Dramatists, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897556 650 7 $a Minority authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023307 650 7 $a Social justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122603 650 7 $a Social problems. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122778 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423832 700 1 $a Powers, Melinda, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Reclaiming Greek drama for diverse audiences $d London ; New York : Routledge, 2020. $z 9780429470448 $w (DLC) 2020010831 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025320.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1012181471B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
