The Methuen Drama Anthology of Native American Plays: Indigenous Spaces

Opis

Leading scholars collect, introduce, and contextualize a diverse array of newly-published contemporary Native American plays.

Featuring works that engage with the major themes, artists, and plays of Native American theatre, Indigenous Spaces places a special emphasis on the aesthetics, cultural meanings, and political goals of the genre as it
interacts with the changing needs of Native North American peoples.

The first collection of plays from multiple Native American playwrights to be published in over a decade, this anthology presents new plays by key Indigenous theatre-makers across Native North America who are currently writing and producing a range of theatrical works. From a reimagining of Peter Pan in Madeline Sayet's The Neverland, to the incredible true story of a 900-mile odyssey in And So We Walked by DeLanna Studi, these plays pay homage to the wide breadth of Native Theatre.

Each chapter opens with critical commentary written by the editors, who weave the play's dramaturgy into broader discussions of Native storytelling and performative movements. Individually, these pieces offer exciting opportunities for performance and study; when collected together, the plays elicit an even more nuanced socio-historical, philosophical understanding of Native Theatre across the 21st century. The volume directly compliments Methuen Drama's Critical Companion to Native American and First Nations Theatre and Performance: Indigenous Spaces.
