This article presents information on three plays that are being performed in the U.S. In assembling historical data from private and public sources, Martin Duberman, has wrought for the actors-speakers of "In White America," a shameful saga of an African-American's agony in the U.S. from the days of the slave trade to the present. "Little Eyolf," by Henrik Ibsen is one of Ibsen's most austere plays, one in which it feel that he is trying to say more than his plot will allow. For the tension just mentioned may be defined in another way. Ibsen wanted his middle-class-realistic and functional constructions to achieve the poetic grandeur of classic drama.
