Theater as Problem

by Benjamin Bennett

"Theater As Problem deserves applause. Inside and outside the academy, those who are interested in drama and theater will learn from and argue with this original, thought-provoking book."--Gay Gibson Cima, author of Performing Female Character, Male Playwrights, and the Modern Stage Using examples ranging from nineteenth-century Viennese comedy to Friedrich Drrenmatt's atomic-age theater, Benjamin Bennett explores what is at stake in the theory of drama; what sort of questioning makes up that theory; and in what direction such questioning leads.
