Synopsis
America Hurrah and Other Plays
$17.99
Published by Grove Press
Jean-Claude van Itallie is one of the most distinguished playwrights of
the American avant-garde
A keen deconstruction of American popular culture, the America Hurrah triptych served notice that here was a major new dramatic voice
Bag Lady is written in the voice of a deceptively insightful homeless woman
The Serpent, a fanciful interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve
The Traveller, which depicts a charismatic and brilliant artist recovering from a stroke
It also includes van Itallie's dazzling play based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead
A definitive collection of the work of a major American playwright
