The Dramaturgy of Fact: The Testament of History in Two Anti-War Plays.
Shafer, George
Central States Speech Journal, v29 n1 p25-35 Spr 1978, 78
The dramaturgical dimensions of the "theater of fact" as found in two anti-war plays, "Discourse on Viet Nam" by Peter Weiss and "Xa: A Vietnam Primer" by the ProVisional Theatre are examined. In these plays the author finds that Vietnamese history becomes rhetorical testament in arguments against United States interference in Vietnam. (JF)
