Drama 1900 to the Present
Twentieth-Century Drama
When complete, Twentieth-Century Drama will contain 2,500 published plays from throughout the English-speaking world, covering the history of modern drama from the 1890s to the present day.
Authors and plays have been selected by an academic advisory board, largely according to their current profile in both teaching and research at universities, colleges and schools. For major authors, we have aimed to include each writer's complete dramatic works; for less prominent authors, a representative sample has been selected; in some cases, a single play by a given author has been included owing to its particular significance. While the emphasis has been on selecting authors who feature prominently in both the academic canon and the current theatrical repertoire, we have also aimed to include plays that have suffered neglect owing to lack of availability in print, and plays by authors of historical importance.
Selection has been limited to works originally written in English. However, translations of non-English language works have been included where these form part of a playwright's main oeuvre: examples include W.B. Yeats's Sophocles' King Oedipus (1928) and Lady Augusta Gregory's translation of Molière's The Doctor in Spite of Himself (1906).
