This paper sheds light on the challenging imagery of femaleness in Adrienne Kennedy’s plays. Reshaping dramatic forms, she deconstructs the traditional narratives of motherhood, child bearing and birth. Her plays link the images of reproduction and proliferation with that of death. Kennedy reconstructs the fragmented self through visions of the inner terrain of the psyche which is projected through the moon-like, ever changing female body.
