Theatrical images of genocide: Four plays

Considers four modern genocide-themed plays: James W Nichols' "Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons" (1977), about the destruction of Canada's Huron Indians; Arthur Kopit's "Indians" (1968), an anti-Vietnam play disguised as one about native Americans; Christopher Hampton's "Savages" (1973), about the slaughter of Amazonian Indians; and Thomas Kenneally's "Bullie's House" (1980), about Australian Aborigines. The plays are characterised as informational, presenting history to those unfamiliar with it; expressions of concern for the destruction of human beings; and helpful in making Holocaust denial less possible.
