Famous American Plays of the 1940s

Famous American Plays of the 1940s

Henry Hewes
3.8/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
These five outstanding and now-classic plays of the 1940s are works profoundly influenced by World War II, a breaking away from tradition onstage, and an increasing concern with prejudice in America. The Skin of Our Teeth, the most important play of the war years, baffled audiences with its unconventional structure. Home of the Brave and All My Sons brought home the problem of the soldier returning to an America still filled with conflict. Lost in the Stars focused directly on South African racism and The Member of the Wedding brought a new intimacy between actor and audience to the stage.
