The Theater of Maria Irene Fornes

by Marc Robinson (Editor)

Along with Fornes’ own engaging commentary on playwriting and the creative process, this anthology includes critical essays on her work with the Judson Poets Theatre and The Open Theater in the 1960s, her shift to greater psychological and formal complexity in the late 1970s, the lyrical politics of her theater from the 1980s and the metatheatricality of her plays from the 1990s. Throughout the anthology, textual analysis is balanced with production criticism.
