The Queerest Art by Alisa Solomon
Bringing together scholars and makers of queer theater into direct dialogue, this volume explores such subjects as same-sex desire in Restoration comedy, the racialized impact of colonial Shakespeare, the cuerpo politizado of a performance artist in contemporary Los Angeles, and the nitty-gritty of getting a queer show presented in Peoria.
"A rich and varied collection, featuring the voices both of academics and theatre practitioners" * American Theatre *
"The panel discussions...contributes a warm, witty and deliciously rhetorical piece." * Lambda Book Report *
"This stimulating collection of essays critically examines and celebrates what, for centuries, many have deeply feared and many others have known and cherished to be true-that theatre is, indeed, the queerest art. The special ephermerality and perilousness of queer existence on- and offstage make this volume's excellently rendered project of documentation through performance, writing, and publication not only admirable and necessary but urgent." * The Drama Review *
"Eclectic array of essays." * Theater Journal *
