Brothers Ray and Billy desperately need their new job with the local crime boss. They’ve got a drunken, aging father and an overworked sister. This is their shot for something better for their family. But then Billy impulsively brings home a Russian prostitute. And the Big Bossman comes looking for her.'A cross between David Mamet and the Marx Brothers ... Ullian’s comedy flirts with all kinds of allegorical possibilities ... a suitably flaky style, an oddball naturalism that plays against the absurdities in the dialogue ... bland spoofery, improbable dialogue laced with specific detail and monologues like verbal jazz riffs ... Ullian has a distinctive voice.' -Marianne Evett, The Cleveland Plain DealerAbout the plays of Peter Ullian:'Singularly satisfying, winning, heart rending, punchy, button-pushing, irresistible. The sense of new blood entering the mainstream achieves the palpably energizing force of a transfusion.' -New York Times'Quirky, crackling prose.' -The Village Voice'Without apology. Taut, absorbing. Great style and crisp wit.' -Variety'Courageous, intensely empathetic characters ... very poignant ... and truthful.' -The Chicago Tribune

  • 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 ...
