This collection contains two one act plays: CHUCKY’S HUNCH, FUTZ, and two full-length plays: KONTRAPTION, and THREE FRONT.   “Rochelle Owens’ risk-taking is more radical in certain respects than Beckett or Shepard.”C W E Bigsby, Modern American Drama   “The genius of Owens’ work lies not in ideological commitments but in her access to the subconcious. One of our most courageous and insightful artists…and perhaps the most profound tragic playwright in the American theater.”Village Voice   “CHUCKY’S HUNCH, Rochelle Owens’ monodrama about an untamed abstract painter and his perplexing relations with America in the shape of his ex-wife and mother is a triumph of sustained verbal fireworks! Not to be missed!”Village Voice   “The character of Chucky reaches truly heroic proportions. A penetrating chain letter from the heart. A wonderful mixture of anger, madness, regret and self-incriminating introspection. Attention must be paid. A rare and daring dramatic imagination.”The New York Times   “A funny wonderful play. Rochelle Owens’ comic flame has never burnt so bright, but like the eye of the tiger, it is savage!”Post, New York   “FUTZ is one of the most original and uninhibited pieces of dramatic poetry ever written. No one seriously interested in theatre arts will want to miss it.”Saturday Review   “In the world of KONTRAPTION Rochelle Owens has devised a language of high intensity and eroticism to express the extremes of human existence. The characters are conjurers of words as well as visions—and the Word is made Flesh!”American Playwrights   “THREE FRONT, by one of the most inventive experimental playwrights in America, is tremendously alive, rich in writing and theatricality.”Europe Plurilingue 3

  • 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 ...

  • Out of Ur
    Rochelle Owens
    A survey of the life’s work of one of America’s most original avant-garde poets and playwrights.'Rochelle Owens’ writing is ’sui generis,’ brilliantly inventive, immensely learned, sophisticated, and witty in its conceits. She is, in many ways, a proto-language poet, her marked ellipses, syntactic oddities, and dense and clashing verbal surfaces. Hers is a universe of stark ges...
