Advanced Praise for Decentered Playwriting:

One of the great challenges for 21st century writers is how one forge's one's own poetics to resist the "realistic," well-made play, and the strictures of Aristotle and Stanislavski. How can we write for our communities and embrace the rich legacies of non-Aristotelian practice? What extraordinary conversations are gathered here in these pages.

Reviews:

Decentered Playwriting “allows us to … redefine playwriting for ourselves,” and makes “an important step toward the redefinition of the playwriting field.”
