Sommario/riassunto |
|
The book includes three full-length plays: Shadow Anthropology (a dark comedy about the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan), Through the Roof (a Faustian trip through the social history of ""natural"" disaster in New Orleans), and Celestial Flesh (a sacrilegious romp through the 1980's sanctuary movement, sacred sex, and CIA drug running in a Los Angeles Catholic Church). Placing the plays within an historical and thematic context, the author introduces the collection with an essay examining catastrophe, capitalism, and what he calls ""Apocalypse Theatre for the Twenty-First Century."" |
