What is America one encounters and studies in a postmodern age? Is it a discourse? A bounded collective identity or a set of manifold, changing, and contingent identities? A fiction? An idea? A history? A place? If place has its say, are we talking about a nation, or several nations within a nation? And who are ‘Americans’? What do they share in common, what is their ‘American-ness’?

Theater Review:

Is anything (in the review) being mentioned regarding the following topics:

1. structure of the play (scene allocation, horizontality, verticality)


2. casting (good choices/unusual choices)


3. the thematic role of the play (then/now)

If so, if any, comment on how the reviewer has approached them, and what she has written regarding their presence.
