Based on papers from the 2016 Comparative Drama Conference held in Baltimore, Maryland, in March and April 2016, the 18 expanded essays presented here by scholars from North America examine theatre and performance in a comparative context. After a conversation with Tony Kushner, they discuss post-Reconstruction black musicals, Laurie Anderson and Mohammed el Gharani’s Habeas Corpus, connections between 20th-century plays and classical precedents, Lesia Ukrainka’s The Stone Master and Molière’s Don Juan, the musical background and influences of August Strindberg, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett, Tennessee Williams, Kushner’s Angels in America, Hamlet in Bed by William Hutchings, and Rajiv Joseph’s Catholic dramaturgy, ending with five book reviews.
