This book by Dr Carol Rocamora (New York University's Tisch School of the Arts) explores the courageous playwrights of the world who used the stage as a platform to address crises of the 20th and 21st centuries. From Bertolt Brecht to present day playwrights, Carol Rocamora discusses how theatre has addressed crises from World War II to the present, including war, apartheid, communism, authoritarianism, racism, immigrant and refugee issues, environmental peril, and the pandemic.
