Schechner Plays (Playtext)

The only collection of Richard Schechner’s plays.

This book offers a collection of Richard Schechner’s performance texts ranging from orthodox plays to group-devised texts. Covering the full breadth of his work from the 1950s to the present, it includes several never-before-published early texts as well as updated versions of well-known productions such as Dionysus in 69, YokastaS, Makbeth, and Imagining O. Márta Minier's introduction gives an overview of Schechner's work, while Schechner introduces each script in terms of their intellectual and production contexts.

Richard Schechner is a theater director, as well as editor of both TDR: The Drama Review and the Enactments book series. He is university professor emeritus in the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University.
