| Summary: | Holocaust Drama: The Theatre of Atrocity by Gene A. Plunka is the most recent in a series of attempts to find ways of categorizing, analyzing, and assessing theatrical representations of the Shoah. Like many of its predecessors, this work poses intriguing questions regarding theater's ability to capture the inexplicable and indescribable—genocide—as well as the critic's ability to assess the varied approaches taken to theatrical depiction of the Holocaust., The first chapter of Holocaust Drama provides a good summary of the issues surrounding representation in literature and in drama of the genocide. |
