| Summary |
'The Theatre of David Henry Hwang' provides an in-depth study of his Hwang's plays and other works in theatre. Beginning with his 'Trilogy of Chinese America' written in the early 1980s, Esther Kim Lee traces all major phases of his playwriting career. Utilizing historical and dramaturgical analysis, she argues that Hwang has developed a unique style of meta-theatricality and irony in writing plays that are both politically charged and commercially viable. |
