<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of new and innovative plays from New York's downtown theater scene by up-and-coming young writers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Bringing together some of the innovative, thought-provoking, and daring new works from New York's downtown theater scene, <i>The Downtown Anthology</i> offers a rich collection of plays from both up-and-coming and established playwrights. <p/>Includes: <i>A Map of Virtue</i> by Erin Courtney; <i>We Are Proud To Present A Presentation About The Herero Of Namibia, Formerly Known As Southwest Africa, From The German Südwestafrika, Between The Years 1884-1915</i> by Jackie Sibblies Drury; <i>Trevor</i> by Nick Jones; <i>The Lily's Revenge</i> by Taylor Mac; <i>Alice in Slasherland</i> by Qui Nguyen; <i>Phoebe in Winter</i> by Jen Silverman. <p/><i>Trevor</i>: "Hugely entertaining tragicomedy... the genius of [Jones's] play is how he has so cleverly humanized both characters." - <i>Chicago Sun Times</i> <p/><i>The Lily's Revenge</i>: "...offers so many incidental pleasures that theatrical time - always a curiously malleable element - seems to contract." - <i>New York Times</i> <p/><i>A Map of Virtue</i>: "With a Hitchcockian sensibility, [Courtney] makes psychodrama out of the mystery of what keeps people together even as imaginations and egos push them apart. Like a souvenir from a fleeting dream, this play will pass over you painlessly, and then it will linger." - <i>Backstage</i>
