Description

This collection of 15 original essays, curated by leading Mamet and Pinter scholar Leslie Kane, explores how crime and criminality permeate the dramatic works of two pivotal contemporary playwrights. Contributors examine individual masterworks and offer comparative analyses across both writers' oeuvres, with particular attention to lesser-known plays and screenplays that receive limited critical discussion. Published by Routledge under the Studies in Modern Drama series, this volume provides fresh scholarly perspectives on the thematic preoccupations of Pinter and Mamet, making it an essential resource for drama students, theatre historians, and anyone seeking deeper insight into contemporary dramatic literature. The essays collectively enhance understanding of how these two dramatists deploy criminality as both structural device and thematic anchor across their most compelling works.
