In The Other American Drama, Marc Robinson presents an alternative to the received history of modern American drama. Rather than beginning with O'Neill, the conventionally acknowledged father of American theatre, Robinson opens this collection with a long essay on the prolific but neglected theatrical career of O'Neill's contemporary, Gertrude Stein. Subsequent essays rethink familiar figures such as Tennessee Williams and Sam Shepard, and make the case for undervalued writers such as Maria Irene Forn???s, Adrienne Kennedy and Richard Foreman.

Together these essays describe the evolution of a truly innovative American drama.
