Product Description
by Shan R. Ayers (Editor), Kate Larken (Afterword by), Heidi Saunders (Foreword by)
Experienced and novice writers are presented together in this unique volume of monologues and short scripts. This anthology highlights a significant force in contemporary American theatre-the growing presence of women as playwrights. Award-winners are here, and so are undiscovered voices. They have one thing in common...their individual artistic journeys all include time spent in Kentucky-some for a short while, others for a lifetime. Playwrights whose work is in this book are Naomi Wallace, bell hooks, Arlene Hutton, Sallie Bingham, Liz Fentress, Nancy Gall-Clayton, Anne Shelby, Trish Ayers, Constance Alexander, Belinda Mason, Beth Dotson Brown, Linda Caldwell, Carolyn Bertram-Arnold, Brenda White, Denise R. McKinney, Gail Livesay. The collection is edited by Shan R. Ayers, theatre professor at Berea College in Kentucky. The anthology also includes a foreword by Heidi Saunders and an afterword by Kate Larken. (www.MotesBooks.com)
