Drama: A Pocket Anthology, 5th edition

In keeping with the objectives of the series, Drama: A Pocket Anthology offers a range of widely admired plays, from classical to contemporary, in a quality trade-format book at an affordable price.  The fourth edition features The God of Carnage, a Tony-award winning play by Yazmina Reza, along with a Shakespeare comedy, Twelfth Night, for the first time.

• Brief and affordable! This pocket-sized anthology allows instructors and students to focus on the plays, with a minimum of pedagogical apparatus—at a cost well under that of traditional drama anthologies.
• Chronologically organized and including playwrights from classical Greece to contemporary Broadway, the featured selections reflect the work of the genre's most distinguished playwrights.  
• An introduction to the genre discusses the origins of drama, the literary elements, and film adaptations of plays.
• An Index of Critical Terms provides a cross-referenced list of literary terms covered in the text.

• Yasmina Reza’s Tony-winning comedy The God of Carnage, produced on Broadway with a cast including James Gandolfini and Jeff Daniels, reflects the robust strength of today’s Broadway and of contemporary comedy.
• Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night brings a classic comedy to this collection for the first time.
• And as always, Drama: A Pocket Anthology offers a diverse and remarkably comprehensive collection of drama at an affordable price and an attractive length.
