In this wise, witty, and wide-ranging collection of recent writings, Brustein examines crucial issues relating to theater in the post-9/11 years, analyzing specific plays, emerging and established performers, and theatrical production throughout the world. Brustein relates our theater to our society in a manner that reminds us why the performing arts matter. Millennial Stages records Brustein's thinking on the important issues "roiling the national soul" at the start of the twenty-first century. His opening section explores the connections between theater and society, theater and politics, and theater and religion, and it is followed by reviews of such landmark productions as The Producers and Spamalot, Long Day's Journey into Night and King Lear. In his final section, Brustein reflects on people and places of importance in the world of theater today, including Marlon Brando and Arthur Miller and Australia and South Africa. 606 $aTheater$zUnited States 606 $aTheater$zUnited States$vReviews 606 $aDrama$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTheater 615 0$aTheater 615 0$aDrama$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a792.0973 700 $aBrustein$b Robert Sanford$f1927-$0193333 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451653803321 996 $aMillennial stages$92442977 997 $aUNINA
