Sommario/riassunto: <span><span>This book examines plays by contemporary playwrights and compares them alongside the works of Eugene O'Neill, Arthur Miller, and Tennessee Williams. Andreach argues that tragedy is not only present in contemporary American theatre, but issues from an expectation fundamental to American culture: the pressure on characters to create themselves.</span></span>
