This final volume of A Critical Introduction to Twentieth-Century American Drama deals with postwar theatrical developments, including performance theatre, the 'theatre of images', the work of Sam Shepard and David Mamet, and the committed theatre exemplified in the San Francisco Mime Troupe and Chicano, black and women's theatre.

Dr Bigsby gives a full account of the early unpublished plays and the major works of Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller and Edward Albee. He draws on biographical detail and political background to illuminate his reading of the plays, which are illustrated by photographs of important productions.
