In One Act / Edition 1

by Adrienne Kennedy

Overview

“Since her earliest plays. . . [Adrienne Kennedy] has been creating frightful and seductive theatrical images of her memories and fantasies. Her black, female protagonists enact Kennedy’s nightmares, then make them ours, enveloping the audience in their relentless anger, madness, and fear . . . time and place shift constantly, plot lines are parceled out in bits, and a contextual frame comes clear gradually, like a reflection is stilling waters.”
