An exciting and engaging investigation of the Federal Theatre Project (FTP) from a transatlantic perspective Engaging and informative, this book presents a comparative study of the history, performances and politics of the FTP by drawing and exposing further links between American modernism and its European counterparts. It concentrates predominantly on the New York division and its following units: the Living Newspaper, the Negro unit, the Children's unit and the Dance unit. Exploring a range of performances, it suggests that the FTP is responsible for an array of theatrical and dramatic experimentations but that it is also indebted to and carries on from the tradition of the European avant-garde and the contemporary modernist theatrical explorations. Rania Karoula is Teaching Fellow in contemporary Scottish and modernist drama at the University of Edinburgh.
