In these three plays (Exact Change, Hair of the Dog, and Shades), dramatist and screenwriter David Epstein brilliantly sketches the bleak, despairing-and howlingly funny-underside of contemporary American life. 'I haven’t laughed so much in a theater all year. With Epstein’s blackish sense of humor and wry relish of the odd, his play fizzes with talent.'-Benedict Nightingale, The Times of London 'You begin by watching unexplained actions; and when exposition arrives it propels the action through the roof. . . . By this time, Exact Change has also parted company with Mamet and revealed itself as more than an efficient laughter-machine. Nothing halts the present-tense narrative; but, from throwaway lines, you begin to assemble detail about the past . . . One sign of this writer’s quality is that he can bring the piece to such an ending without jumping the comic rails: chilling but still brilliant.'-Irving Wardle, The Independent on Sunday

  • 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 ...

  • Personal Enmity in Roman Politics (Routledge Revivals)
    David Epstein
    The Roman Republic was governed by a small group of men who agreed far more than they disagreed on the fundamental questions facing the state. The details of their public behaviour can thus only be understood in relation to the idiosyncrasies deeply embedded in Roman political culture, one of the most important of which was that of personal hatred - ’inimicitia’. Personal Enmit...
