Norman: A Casebook
Linda Ginter Brown, Editor
Taylor & Francis, 1996 - Drama -
242 pages
This
collection of ten original (and one reprinted) essays
provides an in-depth examination of one of America's
foremost contemporary playwrights. Established critics as
well as younger scholars examine well-known works such as
Getting Out, 'night, Mother, The Laundromat, and the
adaptation of The Secret Garden. Lesser known plays
such as The Holdup, Sarah and Abraham, Traveler in the Dark,
and Loving Daniel Boone are also discussed. This casebook
includes an interview with Norman commenting on her work and
her place in American theater as well as a review of 'night,
Mother by drama critic Robert Brustein. The essays analyze
Norman's works in comparison to the works of other
playwrights and examine the mother/daughter relationships of
the characters as well as Norman's sense of a woman's place
within a patriarchal culture.
