Coming to an end.  aMaria Irene Fornes is the most influential female American dramatist of the 20th century. That is the argument of this important new study, the first to assess Fornes's complete body of work. Scott T. Cummings considers comic sketches, opera libretti and unpublished pieces, as well as her best-known plays, in order to trace the evolution of her dramaturgy from the whimsical Off-Off Broadway plays of the 1960s to the sober, meditative work of the 1990s. The book also reflects on her practice as an inspirational teacher of playwriting and the primary director of her own plays.17aFornes, Maria IrenexCriticism and interpretation.2BUEsh 7aTheaterxProduction and directionzNew York (State)zNew YorkxHistoryy20th century.2BUEsh  bHHUUEENNcNovember2019  vReading book  2ddccBB  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc2NDd2019-11-27ePurchaseg550.00l0o812.54 CUMp000048372r2025-07-15 00:00:00v687.50w2019-11-27yBB
