Covering one hundred years of theatre history, it traces the long-running Broadway play as a distinct cultural phenomenon that rises and falls from 1918 to 2018. Each chapter focuses on the longest-running plays of a particular decade, synthesizing historical research and dramaturgical analysis to explain how they functioned as works of theatrical art, cultural commodities, and reflections of the values, conflicts, and fantasies of their times. At the heart of each play's history are the ideological contradictions often present in works of popular culture that appeal to diverse audiences, particularly around issues of gender, race, class, and sexuality. Suitable for anyone with an interest in Broadway and its history, In the Long Run explores the nature of time in this ephemeral art form, the tensions between commerce and art, between popularity and prestige, and the changing position of the Broadway play within American popular culture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a 1910s -- 1920s -- 1930s -- 1940s -- 1950s -- 1960s -- 1970s -- 1980s -- 1990-2018. 650 0 $a Theater $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Theater $z New York $z New York $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a American drama $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American drama $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Theater and society $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Theater and society $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 776 08 $i Electronic version : $a Schildcrout, Jordan. $t In the Long Run. $d London : Routledge, 2019 $z 9780429555923 $w (OCoLC)1117631426 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200103021616.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6B5BCE8AFF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
