This dissertation is structured as a suite of essays that examine eight of Lynn Nottage's published plays-Ruined; Intimate Apparel; Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine; Las Meninas; By the Way, Meet Vera Stark; Crumbs from the Table of Joy, Por'Knockers, and Mud, River, Stone. Each chapter engages various issues the plays raise about instability, identity, and ideology and uses different theoretical frameworks to introduce the novice Nottage scholar and to reorient the more advanced scholar to her work. I employ theatre's discursive approach and use multiple theses in each chapter. Chapter two, Between the Cracks: Grey Areas in Lynn Nottage's Ruined, examines the ambiguities of Ruined as critiques on the uncertain realities for citizens of war. Chapter three, Behind the Staged Lines: Brechtian and Black Aesthetics in Lynn Nottage's Intimate Apparel and Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine, evaluates the quest for self-fulfillment when battling social standards in Intimate Apparel and Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine. Chapter four, Framing Histories: Where Plots and Discourse Meet in Narrating Lynn Nottage's Las Meninas and By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, questions narrators' construction of history-making in By the Way, Meet Vera Stark and Las Meninas. Chapter five, Rejecting Connections: Spirituality, Politics, and Identity in Crumbs from the Table of Joy, Por'Knockers, and Mud, River, Stone, interrogates spiritual, political, and cultural ideological subscription costs in Por'Knockers, Crumbs from the Table of Joy, and Mud, River, Stone.
