This book offers the first scholarly assessment of the work of Oscar Award winner Tarell Alvin McCraney.
 

This is the first book to dedicate scholarly attention to the work of Tarell Alvin McCraney, one of the most significant writers and theater-makers of the twenty-first century. Featuring essays, interviews, and commentaries by scholars and artists who span generations, geographies, and areas of interest, the volume examines McCraney&;s theatrical imagination, his singular writerly voice, his incisive cultural critiques, his stylistic and formal creativity, and his distinct personal and professional trajectories.
 
Contributors consider McCraney&;s innovations as a playwright, adapter, director, performer, teacher, and collaborator, bringing fresh and diverse perspectives to their observations and analyses. In so doing, they expand and enrich the conversations on his much-celebrated and deeply resonant body of work, which includes the plays Choir Boy, Head of Passes, Ms. Blakk for President, The Breach, Wig Out!, and the critically acclaimed trilogy The Brother/Sister Plays: In the Red and Brown Water, The Brothers Size, and Marcus; Or the Secret of Sweet, as well as the Oscar Award&;winning film Moonlight, which was based on his play In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue.
 

Arvustused

This critical anthology provides a compelling and comprehensive view into the work of one of the most significant and exciting voices in contemporary American theater. What makes this anthology especially distinctive is its effective conjunction of critical engagement and theatrical practice. The volumes integration of theory and practice provides a particularly insightful approach to McCraneys theatrically dynamic dramaturgy. It is an immensely valuable read for scholars, teachers, and students as well as theater practitioners. Harry J. Elam, author of The Past as Present in the Drama of August Wilson

"Tarell Alvin McCraney is one of the most prolific playwrights of our time. The critical assessments offered here by esteemed artists/academics affirm his genius." Phylicia Rashad   "Tarell's work is at once epic and very human. No other contemporary playwright writes about the souls of black folks with such love, grace, poetry, and beauty. This book is so important." Lynn Nottage, Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright of Ruined and Sweat

". . . an invaluable primer to a body of work so complexly located at the intersections of blackness, queerness, and performance in 21st-century American theater." R. Remshardt, University of Florida, CHOICE
