Description
Joyce Cho Plays collects five plays by Scott Adkins, Kelly Copper, Karinne Keithley, Sibyl Kempson, and AmberReed. Ludicrous, lyrical, weird and loving, these plays have in common a totaldisregard for realistic manifestation of their extravagant, poetic scenarios. Dedicatedto proposing solutions for new plays not written with a traditional dramaturgyor staging syntax, the five playwrights of Joyce Cho pursue experiments thatchallenge the conventions of playwriting as she is known.
In the words of Mac Wellman, "Thefive playwrights of Joyce Cho-Scott Adkins, Kelly Copper, Karinne Keithley,Sibyl Kempson and Amber Reed-are among the most exciting, imaginative andprofound theater writers in our time, in any time. Joyce Cho is a genius, and agenial one. No one is thinking as deeply and as complexly on what our theateris and is not; nor on what she could be. I do not understand the work of thesewriters in the same way I do not understand the sky, the sea, and the secret ofthe forest. They are unlike any others I know in the theater of our time. Paythem heed."
The volume includes: RunningCommentary No. 4 by Scott Adkins, Christmas Cracker by Kelly Copper,Do Not Do This Ever Again by Karinne Keithley, Zeit af derKurbisGeistNachten by Sibyl Kempson, and The Grand Kindness by AmberReed.
