    Modern American Drama

    Drama continues to be an important part of modern American literature.


    Modern American drama ranges in style from the hyper-realistic to the
    completely experimental and deals with a myriad of themes and ideas.
    Works such as Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County (2007), for example,
    delve into the deterioration of the modern American family, while Ayad
    Akhtar’s Disgraced (2012) explores post-9/11 Islamophobia and the
    American-Muslim experience.

    Drama in the United States continues to be a place to explore identity, current


    social issues, and how Americans interact with and relate to one another.
