Book Synopsis Act Like a Man by : Robert H Vorlicky
Download or read book Act Like a Man written by Robert H Vorlicky and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first comprehensive study of plays written for male characters only, Robert Vorlicky offers a new theory that links cultural codes governing gender and the conventions determining dramatic form. Act Like a Manlooks at a range of plays, including those by O'Neill, Albee, Mamet, Baraka, and Rabe as well as new works by Philip Kan Gotanda, Alonzo Lamont, and Robin Swados, to examine how dialogue within these works reflects the social codes of male behavior and inhibits individualization among men. Plays in which women are absent are often characterized by the location of a male "other"—a female presence who distances himself from the dominant, impersonal masculine ethos and thereby becomes a facilitator of personal communication. The potential authority of this figure is so powerful that its presence becomes the primary determinant of the quality of men's interaction and of the range of male subjectivities possible. This formulation becomes the basis of an alternative theory of American dramatic construction, one that challenges traditional dramaturgical notions of realism. The book will appeal to scholars and students interested in drama, gender, race, sexuality, and American culture, as well as playwrights, teachers of playwrights, and artistic directors. It includes an extensive bibliography of more than four hundred male-cast plays and monodramas, the first such compilation and one that points to further research into a previously unexplored area.

One day, Zero stumbles upon some wreckage and meets a strange creature with an even stranger object: a golden pyramid. When the pyramid imbues Zero with a legendary power, he is recruited by a top Saba guild and launched into a dangerous intergalactic quest to track down the infamous Mask of the Shaman King before the Space Mafia uses it to unleash chaos on the galaxy.

Download or read book Bartok as Dog written by Patrick Tovatt and published by Dramatists Play Service Inc. This book was released on 1983 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STORY: Parsons, still lacking direction at the age of 35, attempts to reenter the mainstream although he wants a night job so that the days will still be free to pursue his avocation of photography. As the play begins he is undergoing a lie detector test, an hilarious if dehumanizing experience which he fails handily. Returning home to a cold beer and Bartok played loudly on the phonograph Parsons is given grudging sympathy by his girlfriend Lois, a rising young corporate executive who is paying all the bills-but beginning to lose patience with her lover's lackadaisical attitude. Parson's next interview is with a rather rigid older lady who quickly makes it known her feeling that Parsons is strictly a dilettante who doesn't really want to work at all and who grumpily sends him on his way. Home again Parsons finds that his relationship with Lois is in trouble too, when she informs him that she has a date that evening and that it might be better if he was gone when she returns. As the play ends Parsons' fate is sealed, with only the music of Bartok (the composer) and thoughts of Bartok (his mushy loved dog) to give him solace in a world which has little patience with dreamers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STORY: The scene is the trailer where Ruby, a woman of indeterminate age and compliant disposition, lives amid an overgrown garden of thymus vulgaris, an herb which smells suspiciously like menthol chest rub. She is joined unexpectedly by her daughter, Evelyn, a warmhearted hooker who announces that she is the intended of Solly, the Grapefruit King, although right now she is not so sure that she wants to go through with it or, for that matter, that Solly does either. But the lure of all that money, and Solly's promise to give Ruby a home as well, do tug at her. The arrival of a well-built young motorcycle cop (who reminds Ruby of several former loves) decides the matter, however, as he has been sent by Solly to round up mother and daughter and whisk them off to a life of luxury. And why not? There are, as Evelyn says, the users and the used-and every once in a while the used deserve a break too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The scene is a hospital room where, Archer, a young veteran and amputee, is bent on seducing his prim and proper nurse. He feels that his self-esteem as a man (which has been undermined by the loss of his leg) will be restored by making love to Miss Harris--but she isn't having any. Trying another ploy, Archer snaps a disco tape into his recorder, and slowly Miss Harris gives way to her secret passion for dancing: her behind begins to twitch, her shoulders follow, and shortly she is dancing energetically about the room, loosening the buttons of her well-starched uniform. When Archer hops over to join her Miss Harris quickly regains control of herself--but the ice has definitely been broken and, as confidences are exchanged, it appears certain that something more substantial than the mere gratification of Archer's lecherous impulses may well be in the offing."--
