Search in google:
A nice alternative to lengthier and more expense anthologies, Drama: A Pocket Anthology is the perfect choice for professors who want to see several books in an Introduction to Drama course. Chronologically organized, changes to the new edition include: A one-act play by Chicana playwright Milcha Sanchez-Scott reflects the struggle of a Cuban-American to find her way in American mainstream culture. A one-act play by Arlene Huttonhas the makings of a feminist classic, according to one reviewer. New selections from Sophocles, Ibsen, and August Wilson offer echoes of today’s politics (Antigone), an adaptation by Arthur Miller (An Enemy of the People), and a classic from one of America’s most admired playwrights (The Piano Lesson).
