Postmodernism & Culturally Diverse
Theatre

24. Postmodernist
Postmodernist directors are noted for “deconstructing” classic
dramas – that is, taking an original play apart; developing a new,
individual conceptualization; and trying to represent onstage the
issue of power embedded in the text. When a classic is
“deconstructed” in this way, it may serve simply as the scenario for a
production
