Description

Cast Out Queer Lives in Theater is a collection of memoirs and interviews by twenty-two leading performers, playwrights, technicians, producers, critics, educators, and passionate spectators. These diverse voices dispel the cliché of theater as a "safe haven" and replace it with a nuanced group portrait of the ways in which theater and queerness intersect.

Featuring writing from prominent figures such as Edward Albee, Kate Bornstein, Cherry Jones, Lisa Kron, Craig Lucas, Peggy Shaw, and George C. Wolfe, among others, this book offers a backstage pass to the personal and creative lives of some of the most important and influential theater artists of the past fifty years.

Through their stories, these individuals issue impassioned calls for art, creativity, and social change, providing a unique insight into the intersection of gender and performance studies. This collection is an important new mapping of this field, shedding light on the complex relationships between theater, queerness, and identity.
