"Wisely chosen and thoughtfully introduced, Robert Skloot's
collection of genocide-related drama brings its significant light
and insight to bear on some of the darkest times in recent history.
Teaching and warning those who enter, The Theatre of Genocide
stages, invites, and encourages action that resists
atrocity."--John K. Roth, director of the Center for the Study of
the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights at Claremont McKenna
College
"With the world in a blaze of war, The Theatre of Genocide is all
too timely. The compelling, evocative plays Robert Skloot has
chosen move from the Armenian genocide, which preceded the
Holocaust, to the more recent horrors of Cambodia, Bosnia, and
Rwanda. Readers, educators, and theatre practitioners alike should
find inspiration in this volume which serves as a warning against
moral complacency and a call to meaningful action."--Barbara W.
Grossman, Tufts University, former Presidential appointee to the
United States Holocaust Memorial Council
