Reviews

'In this well-focused, vividly written study focusing on the last decade, Durham examines gender and sexuality, and the evolving nature of feminism . . . The author has provided an essential analysis and opened the door for scholars to delve more deeply into the aesthetics and content arising within this latest movement in contemporary theatre. Summing Up: Highly Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through faculty, theatre professionals, and general readers.' - CHOICE
