Lynn Nottage (1964-) stands as a distinguished contemporary American playwright, renowned for being the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama twice. Her oeuvre spans various periods and countries, employing cross-historical and cross-cultural themes to innovate in the theater and provoke new reflections on social issues among audiences. Deeply influenced by her personal experiences of immigration and travel, Nottage exhibits a profound concern for individual experiences of mobility. Centering on African Americans, Africans, and their interactions with war, tourism, and migration, her works intricately portray diverse forms of mobility. This paper aims to utilize mobility theory to conduct an in-depth analysis of Nottage's works, exploring the landscapes of mobility, modes of mobility, and the multicultural implications depicted therein.
