Description
"Naomi Iizuka's plays masterfully blend poetic language with compelling themes, making her a standout voice in contemporary theater." (New York Times)
One of the leading US-based dramatists, Naomi Iizuka is known for her poetic, imagistic plays; innovative structures that reinvent and combine the past and present; and genre-defying work, making her one of the most original voices in the contemporary theatre. Iizuka's plays explore the collisions of culture, identity, the recirculation of myth, lacunae of memory, and the hybridity of the present.
This anthology brings together a curated selection of some of her most essential works alongside critical essays and artistic reflections that contextualize her contributions to the American stage. Look Again is the first of its kind to offer both a representative collection of Iizuka's plays and critical engagement with her work.
Edited by Hank Willenbrink, this collection includes five of Iizuka's plays that all look into the past in new ways, reflecting, refracting, and remixing the present. The work ranges from her most popular titles, to previously unpublished pieces: 17 Reasons (why), 36 Views, Anon(ymous), Concerning Strange Devices from the Distant West, and Polaroid Stories.
Designed for students, educators, theatre-makers, and general readers alike, this book illuminates Iizuka's unique theatrical vision and one-of-a-kind writing. Whether you're encountering her work for the first time or revisiting it with fresh eyes, this anthology invites you into Iizuka's theatrical worlds: lyrical, fractured, raw, and profoundly human.
