    FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE COLLECTIVE: COMMUNITY IN AUGUST WILSON AND TONY KUSHNER By Copyright 2007 Richard Noggle Ph.D., University of Kansas 2007 Submitted to the Department of English and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ________________________ Chairperson, Maryemma Graham ________________________ Chairperson, Iris Smith Fischer ________________________ Paul Stephen Lim ________________________ William J. Harris ________________________ Henry Bial Date defended ________________ 2 The Dissertation Committee for Richard Noggle certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE COLLECTIVE: COMMUNITY IN AUGUST WILSON AND TONY KUSHNER Committee: ________________________ Chairperson, Maryemma Graham ________________________ Chairperson, Iris Smith Fischer ________________________ Paul Stephen Lim ________________________ William J. Harris ________________________ Henry Bial Date approved _______________ 3 ABSTRACT My study examines the playwrights August Wilson and Tony Kushner as “political” artists whose work, while positing very different definitions of “community,” offers a similar critique of an American tendency toward a kind of misguided, dangerous individualism that precludes “interconnection.” I begin with a look at how “community” is defined by each author through interviews and personal statements. My approach to the plays which follow is thematic as opposed to chronological. The organization, in fact, mirrors a pattern often found in the plays themselves: I begin with individuals who are cut off from their respective communities, turn to individuals who “reconnect” through encounters with communal history and memory, and conclude by examining various “successful” visions of community and examples of communities in crisis and decay.

  • The Heidi Chronicles As Illustration of the Second Feminist Wave in the United States
    Facultad de Humanidades Sección de Filología The Heidi Chronicles as Illustration of the Second Feminist Wave in the United States Trabajo de Fin de Grado presentado por la alumna Beatriz Sánchez Ramos bajo la supervisión de la Dra. Matilde Martín González Dpto. Filología Inglesa y Alemana Grado en Estudios Ingleses Curso 2014-15 Convocatoria de julio de 2015 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract 1. Introduction 2. Second Feminist Wave: A Brief Account 3. The Heidi Chronicles seen from the perspective of Second Wave Feminist Theory 4. Conclusion 5. Works Cited Abstract This final degree dissertation aims to show how vital was the Second Wave Feminism in the twentieth century in terms of women’s struggle for better conditions. This period of intense fight has been the object of many literary and critical works, such as novels, collections of poetry and scholarly articles. From the huge bibliography on this topic I have chosen to focus on The Heidi Chronicles, a play written by Wendy Wasserstein (1950-2006) which reflects and engages with the main concerns raised by women in the period covering the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Thus, I argue that this text could very well illustrate the political, social and theoretical aspects developed within the Second Feminist Wave in the United States. A further reason for choosing this work has to do with the possibilities of theatre as a cultural manifestation to deal with questions that include gender relations and social themes. The theatre has always implied an interaction between characters in a literal way, and this turns it perhaps into the most straightforward genre to involve the public – the audience – or the readership.

  • EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL “PROOF” by David Auburn
    www.that.theatre.com / [email protected] Birgitte Holm Halkjær Lektor, engelsk og dansk Birkerød Gymnasium, HF og IB EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL “PROOF” by David Auburn Proof is a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning family drama that explores the relationship between brilliance and madness. It centers on the character of Catherine, a young woman who has spent years caring for her father, a once-great mathematician now stricken with mental illness. The play opens on the eve of his funeral, as Catherine begins her struggles with issues of responsibility, trust, and the possible inheritance of her father´s brilliance and madness. This is one of the best and funniest plays that I have read. I hope that you enjoy studying it and that you’ll come in to see the play. I would like to thank Birgitte for writing this material.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AUGUST WILSON’S STUNNING “FENCES” IS AS TIMELY AS IT IS POWERFUL, JAN. 16-FEB. 6 TUCSON, Ariz. (Jan. 6, 2016): Arizona Theatre Company celebrates the new year with a great American classic in August Wilson’s stunning, Pulitzer-Prize winning play, Fences. A vivid, heartfelt exploration of the African-American experience set in the 1950’s, the story remains strikingly relevant today. Performances begin at the Temple of Music & Art, 333 S. Scott Ave., on Jan. 16 and run through Feb. 6. I. Michael and Beth Kasser are Arizona Theatre Company’s 2015-16 Season Sponsors. The Stonewall Foundation is the Production Sponsor. Perhaps the best known of Wilson’s plays and winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, Fences tells the gripping story of sanitation worker Troy Maxson, a star baseball player whose career was blunted by the racism prevalent in pre-Jackie Robinson America.
