About this product

Product Information

As a theatrical form, the ridiculous thrived in the 1970s and early 1980s, playfully subverting dramatic and social convention in its mix of camp, role-playing, literary and filmic allusions - and anticipating the current interest in gender, cross dressing, and popular culture. This revised edition contains works by Ronald Tavel, Charles Ludlam, and Kenneth Barnard and adds essays and interview material on each of these playwrights. Also included in this edition is Rehearsal for the Destruction of Atlantis by Jack Smith, one of the major figures in the American avant garde, and an essay by J. Hoberman on Smith's work.
