Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the first comprehensive study of plays written for male characters only, Robert Vorlicky offers a new theory that links cultural codes governing gender and the conventions determining dramatic form. Act Like a Man looks at a range of plays, including those by O'Neill, Albee, Mamet, Baraka, and Rabe as well as new works by Philip Kan Gotanda, Alonzo Lamont, and Robin Swados, to examine how dialogue within these works reflects the social codes of male behavior and inhibits individualization among men. Plays in which women are absent are often characterized by the location of a male "other"—a female presence who distances himself from the dominant, impersonal masculine ethos and thereby becomes a facilitator of personal communication. The potential authority of this figure is so powerful that its presence becomes the primary determinant of the quality of men's interaction and of the range of male subjectivities possible. This formulation becomes the basis of an alternative theory of American dramatic construction, one that challenges traditional dramaturgical notions of realism"--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STORY: The scene is the Soho gallery of Arthur Demuirgus, a rich and respected art dealer who represents the works of many celebrated and successful contemporary painters. Although it has slipped his mind, he has an appointment to look at the portfolio of a young artist from the midwest, Martin Thoth, so he graciously agrees to keep his word, even though it will mean being late for his next appointment. As he studies the slides which Thoth has brought with him much is revealed about the two men: Demuirgus' discernment and taste (and his steely eye for what is salable); and the young painter's broad-ranging talent and sensitivity (and his total lack of concern for the demands of the market place). The older man's appreciation of Thoth's creative genius is genuine and profound but so, alas, is his conviction that until the young artist develops an individual, consistent style, which is distinctly his own, his commercial prospects will be limited. As they part the two men are at an impasse, both convinced that they are in the right and both, by their own lights, fully justified in believing so.
