Synopsis
Jean-Claude van Itallie is one of the most distinguished playwrights of the American avant-garde.
A keen deconstruction of American popular culture, the America Hurrah triptych served notice that here was a major new dramatic voice.
America Hurrah and Other Plays is a definitive collection of the work of a major American playwright, with such works as Bag Lady, written in the voice of a deceptively insightful homeless woman; The Serpent, a fanciful interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve; The Traveller, which depicts a charismatic and brilliant artist recovering from a stroke; and van Itallie's dazzling play based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
