Review Quotes:
"Olivia Landry's original study of the theatre of anger as a distinct genre makes an important and timely contribution to German studies, theatre studies, and to postcolonial and critical race studies. Scholars and students in these fields will find much to admire in the way she brings these fields into conversation."
--Katrin Sieg, Georgetown University, Monatshefte" Theatre of Anger is a confident and highly readable book, which stages a complex, multi-faceted take on its subject matter. It is well argued, engaging, and informative throughout, managing several trajectories of argument and exploration in a way that remains clear, helpful, and illuminating."
--Sophie Nield, Royal Holloway, University of London, Comparative Drama
