FOR A BARBARIAN WOMAN AND OTHER PLAYS. By Saviana Stanescu. Saviana Stanescu’s 'barbarian' heroines are not victims; they are strong, rebellious, and resilient women, who struggle to fulfill their potential despite inauspicious historical, geographical, and socio-economic circumstances. The three plays included in this volume (Don’t / Dream, For a Barbarian Woman, Useless) explore the contradictions of 'civilization' and 'the primitive', privilege and exclusion, rich and poor, rational and irrational; with pathos, humor, and vivacity. Roman poet Ovid, exile, suicide, human traffic, undocumented immigrants and domestic workers are a few of the topics that intersect in this thought-provoking book of a multi-rooted playwright committed to bring outsiders center stage. This is a NoPassport Press publication.

    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 ...
