Description

Explore a deep study of 20th-century drama with Reassessing the Theatre of the Absurd. Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this work arrives fifty years after Martin Esslin's landmark text, The Theatre of the Absurd. While Esslin's original work suggested that absurd plays portray the meaninglessness of life, this book offers a fresh perspective on the movement. This text examines the works of five major playwrights from the 1950s: Camus, Beckett, Ionesco, Genet, and Pinter. It provides a timely reassessment of one of the most significant theatre movements in history. For students, scholars, and theatre enthusiasts, this book serves as a necessary update to the study of performing arts and dramatic literature. By looking at these specific authors, the book helps readers understand the evolution of the absurd within the context of modern theatre.
