This book consists of the text for two musicals. A Ballad of Slate-Colored Days portrays a haunted loner, in his early thirties, living on the edge of downtown Seattle in 1980. He spends his days writing poetic lyrics for songs. His dialogue with other characters, when not serious, displays flashes of dry wit about his life situation. His ruminations drift between the recent and distant past. Moonlight and Skeletons surveys the life and career of the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. A character playing Munch delivers an account of his life. This is woven through with lyrics sung by a woman guitarist about his work and background

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...

  • Blue Period in Seattle
    John W. Gorski / John WGorski
    John Gorski’s Blue Period in Seattle traffics in a play of atmosphere, both meteorological and psychological. These atmospheres evoke a kind of emotional synesthesia: 'I get off the bus/ at 64th and Linden/ because the dark organ chords of alcohol laughter/ are playing out of tune.' Blue Period in Seattle dares us to partake of a fretted, penumbral world, haunted by muses who a...
