Biography
The author of some of the most interesting and provocative plays to emerge from the experimental theater scene after the 1960’s, Adrienne Kennedy is a chronicler of the surreal and the world of dream and myth. Kennedy’s technique has been described as using form “to project an interior reality and thereby creating a rich and demanding theatrical style.” Although her plays are complex and opaquely symbolic, puzzling critics and audiences alike, most commentators agree that performances of Kennedy’s work are intensely theatrical and rewarding.
