Product Description
Stephen Adly Guirgis has been hailed as one of the most promising playwrights at work in America today. A masterful poet of the downtrodden, his plays portray life on New York's hardscrabble streets in a manner both tender and unflinching, while continually exploring the often startling gulf between who we are and how we perceive ourselves. Gathered in this volume is his current off-Broadway hit, Our Lady of 121st Street, a comic portrait of the graduates of a Harlem Catholic school reunited at the funeral of a beloved teacher, along with his two previous plays: the philosophical jailhouse drama Jesus Hopped the A Train and In Arabia, We'd All Be Kings, an Iceman Cometh for the Giuliani era that looks at the effect of Times Square's gentrification on its less desirable inhabitants.

Amazing, amazing, amazing!!
If you're at all interested in theater (or human nature) Stephen's words, verbal paintings, are for you.Theater at it's very best.Mind blowing and jaw dropping.Makes the rest of us jealous - "why can't I do that?".Keep your eye on him, fly to New York to check out his work (and that of the theater company he has been a long time member of - LAByrinth) if you can (or even if you can't).In a world where not much new is coming out, he shines a light of hope.Follow him there - he's is a worthy guide that can be trusted to the ends of the earth (or even to Purgatory - please check out, his most recent, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot - you won't regret it).
