Sobre IBD

This new volume brings together plays from four of the best young artists on the contemporary American playwriting scene. Includes: Kin by Bathsheba Doran, Middletown by Will Eno, Completeness by Itamar Moses, and God's Ear by Jenny Schwartz, with introductions written by Christopher Durang, Gordon Lish, Doug Wright, and Edward Albee."The the four plays in this volume [are] fresh, original and distinctive. Each is verbally deft, and delights in language and its power to entertain, disturb, and just plain dazzle. Each is about human connection - the pain and the difficulty of human connection. And each of these four plays is hopeful, and ultimately optimistic [...] four wonderful plays by four writers with bright pasts and bright futures... The United States is in a golden age of American playwriting - whether we acknowledge it or not - and the four talented writers in this volume strongly attest to that." - André Bishop (from his Introduction)

  • 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 ...
