Bigsby also provides a new chapter, 'Beyond Broadway', and offers an analysis of how theatre has formed and influenced the millennial culture of America.　　

　　CHRISTOPHER BIGSBY is Professor of American Studies at the University of East Anglia and has published more than twenty-five books covering American theatre, popular culture and British drama, including A Critical Introduction to Twentieth-Century American Drama and Contemporary American Playwrights. He is co-editor, with Don Wilmeth, of The Cambridge History of American Theatre. He is also an awardwinning novelist and regular radio and television broadcaster.
