Database with scripts: 20th Century North American Drama
- Twentieth Century North American Drama This link opens in a new window
Contains 2,059 plays by 434 playwrights, and more than 150 of the plays are published here for the first time, including a number by major authors. This collection offers a unique window into the economic, historical, social, and political psyche of two countries. Scholars and students who use the database will have a new way to study the signal events of the twentieth century—including the Depression, the role of women, the Cold War, and more—through the plays and performances of writers who lived through these decades.
Using OneSearch
When searching OneSearch, avoid using "Title" searches. Search the words that make up the title of your play in Books (results will include e-Books).
Search Tips
- Not sure of the whole title? Search just using a few key words:
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
- Common one-word title, zillions of results? Add AND + the playwright's last name:
Wit AND Edson
- Common multi-word title, still zillions of wrong results? Put exact titles in quotation marks:
"In the Blood"
