Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Few playwrights have explored as relentlessly as Christopher Durang the pain and confusion of everyday life--or made us laugh so uproariously at the results. Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You, the center of a storm of controversy for its satire of misplaced trust in religious authority," remains as powerful today as when it was originally produced. The excruciatingly funny The Nature and Purpose of the Universe asks whether Eleanor Mann's Job-like suffering is really her fault, while Titanic takes us into the heart of children's anger with their parents and parents' manipula­tion of their children. In Beyond Therapy, two horrifyingly human therapists pursue their own needs at the expense of the most mismatched couple ever to meet through a personal ad. Also including 'Dentity Crisis and The Actor's Nightmare, this collection demonstrates that laughter is the best surgery, slicing through prejudice and hypocrisy, cutting out dead beliefs and inflamed opinions. These dark comedies, lit by lightning bolts of truth and humor, are among the most illuminating in American drama, by "one of the most explosively funny American dramatists" (Newsweek). Includes: The Nature and Purpose of the Universe 'Dentity Crisis Titanic The Actor's Nightmare Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You Beyond Therapy.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Helen and John gaze proudly at their new offspring, a bit disappointed that it doesn't speak English and too polite to check its sex. They decide that the child is a girl and name it Daisy, which leads to all manner of future emotional and personality problems when it turns out that Daisy is actually a boy.In a series of brilliantly theatrical and wildly hilarious scenes, the saga of Daisy's struggle to establish his identity continues, despite his parents' growing obliviousness. There's the zany nanny who gives him a lethal toy to play with, the small problem of Daisy's penchant for throwing himself in front of buses, his bizarre problems in school, and, finally, the sessions with his analyst which enable him, at last, to accept his maleness and stop wearing dresses.Durang's play comes full circle as the former Daisy and his young bride fondly regard their own baby, forgiving of the past but determined not to repeat its calamitous mistakes.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Laughing wild amid severest woe perfectly describes the fiercely ironic comedy of Christopher Durang s Laughing Wild (which takes its title from this Thomas Gray quotation via Samuel Beckett) and the previously unpublished Baby with the Bathwater. In Laughing Wild, two comic monologues evolve into a man and a woman s shared nightmare of modern life and the isolation it creates. From her turf battles at the supermarket to the desperate cliches of self-affirmation he learns at his personality workshop, they run the gamut of everyday life s small brutalizations until they meet, with disastrous inevitability, at the Harmonic Convergence in Central Park. …

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This biting, irreverent and uproariously funny satire aims its barbs at organized religion and strikes home with hilarious results. In it, Sister Mary's long lecture on Roman Catholicism starts conventionally but grows in morbidity and even horror as it proceeds. Sister Mary Ignatius, a teaching nun who is much concerned with sin in all of its various forms, delivers a cautionary lecture to her charges. The lecture is interrupted by four of her ex-students, who present a religious pageant, then reveal how far they have strayed from her teaching. Their stories are disturbing, but also very funny - and it is quickly apparent that one thing they all have in common is their loathing for Sister Mary and the unyielding dogma which she forced on them in their formative years. In the end there is mayhem and bloodshed - but with this, the unsettling feeling that, amid the laughter, some devastating truths have been told. …
