Description
Outrageous Fortune looks at the lives and livelihoods of American playwrights today and at the realities of new-play production from the perspective of both playwrights and not-for-profit theatres. The study, drawing on years of comprehensive research, reveals a collaboration in crisis between the people who write plays and those who produce them. Against a backdrop of dwindling audiences for dramatic work, Outrageous Fortune makes clear the urgent need for new conversations and practices if the American play is to flourish.
