November 22-23, 2014: AmericanDrama: Five More

[In this week’s series I AmericanStudied some important and impressive moments and works in the history of American drama. As always, I left out more than I was able to include, so in this weekend post I wanted to highlight five other works/authors that certainly deserve their own posts as well (and hopefully will get them sometime). I’d still love to hear your thoughts and dramatic highlights too!]

1)      Langston Hughes’s Mulatto (1935)

2)      LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka)’s Dutchman (1964)

3)      Suzan-Lori Parks’s Topdog/Underdog (2001)

4)      David Henry Hwang’s Yellow Face (2007)

5)      Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights (2008)

Next series starts Monday,

Ben

PS. What do you think? Other works, authors, or moments you’d highlight?
