Writer, Professor & Historian Amnon Kabatchnik Pens COURTROOM DRAMAS ON THE STAGE

Legendary drama professor, esteemed historian, celebrated director, and award-winning writer Amnon Kabatchnik has penned an extraordinary new volume in his critically-acclaimed award-winning reference series. Kabatchnik's latest, Courtroom Dramas on the Stage (BearManor Media) is now available wherever fine books are sold in hardcover (ISBN: 979-8887711348, 532 pages, $45.00), trade paper (ISBN: 9797-8-88771-133-1, $35.00), and eBook ($9.95) editions.

While many books about courtroom fiction in film and on television exist, the topic of stage courtroom dramas has been largely ignored-until now. Courtroom Dramas on the Stage endeavors to fill that void.

Created, compiled, and organized by eminently and uniquely qualified expert Amnon Kabatchnik, Courtroom Dramas on the Stage examines a broad cross-spectrum of works-beginning with the first stage trial on record, The Danaid Tetralogy (463 B.C.) by Aeschylus, in which 49 young women are accused of murdering their grooms, their cousins, on their wedding night to avoid incestuous marriage.

In Courtroom Dramas on the Stage, Kabatchnik scrutinizes and analyzes more than fifty plays. Presented chronologically, each entry includes a plot synopsis, pertinent information such as production data, scholarly and critical opinions, as well as biographical sketches of playwrights and key actors and directors.

The first of two volumes, Courtroom Dramas on the Stage is an invaluable, intriguing, indispensable, and meticulously researched guide.

Kabatchnik has earned high critical acclaim for his previous works, including his celebrated Blood on the Stage volumes, which won honors in the Benjamin Franklin Awards, the ForeWord Book of the Year Awards, and the Independent Book Publishers Awards. Among the praise:
