Summary

"Captive Audience examines the social, gendered, ethnic, and cultural problems of incarceration through the lens of contemporary theater. The essays gathered here engage a broad range of plays by African-American, Latino/a, British, and other American playwrights who give voice to those long hidden behind prison walls. Topics related to the intersection of theater and imprisonment are explored from a variety of critical perspectives, illuminating the dark worlds portrayed in captivity dramas by Migdalia Cruz, Miguel Pinero, Tennessee Williams, Naomi Wallace, and Samuel Beckett, among others. Thomas Fahy and Kimball King have assembled a distinguished group of contributors, including the renowned playwright, screenwriter, and social activist Harold Pinter. Captive Audience is essential reading for anyone interested in theater and social justice."--BOOK JACKET.
