«Continental Divide» is a cycle of two plays by David Edgar, published by Nick Hern Books in paperback (284 pages, in English).
The volume brings together two plays that explore American politics from two sides: «Daughters of the Revolution» follows former sixties activists turned conformists, and «Mothers Against» focuses on the Republican camp. The two pieces converge on the eve of a televised debate in a governor's campaign.
Both plays premiered in the US in 2003 and in the UK in Birmingham in 2004. The volume is part of the NHB Modern Plays series.
For lovers of political theatre and readers interested in the evolution of ideologies in the United States.
