English Abstract
Contemporary American drama in its different forms discusses social and political concerns that spark American interest.
In addition to the plays of August Wilson, contemporary American drama also witnessed a revival of a number plays of the early twentieth century.
The plays of Eugene O’Neill in particular resonated with changes related to gender, ethnic barriers, and the political milieu of American society of late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
The present study investigates the plays of August Wilson and Eugene O’Neill and their symbolic relationship to changes in the contemporary political scene in America.
Moreover, the research focuses on the symbolic use of the African American dialect as a medium of constructing political change in Eugene O’Neill’s successful Broadway revivals and August Wilson’s cyclical plays.
