The Struggle Continues

The Struggle Continues Synopsis

A collection of plays and essays by and about the groundbreaking and audacious theatremaker Robbie McCauley.

A vital presence in the US avant-garde theatre movement from the 1970s until the 2010s, McCauley worked as a playwright, director, and performer for many decades, garnering international acclaim for her thought-provoking work. Her plays consistently confront uncomfortable truths about race and racism in America by breaking down the walls between performer and spectator. McCauley's uncompromising and uplifting work sought to highlight the varied lived experiences of Black women, as well as their indelible mark on global culture.

This volume includes:

• The full text of McCauley's plays Sally's Rape, Indian Blood, Sugar, and Jazz 'n Class
• Insightful introductions to each play
• Additional essays by McCauley and other leading writers and academics about her work and legacy

The Struggle Continues, edited by Alisa Solomon, Elin Diamond and Cynthia Carr, is a valuable compendium of work by an incomparable theatre artist.
