"...one of the funniest plays of the year as well as
one of the wisest and most moving."---NY Times
A hilarious and wondrous account of one woman's committment to loving others
first, and her belief that giving such love has made her life unbelievably rich,
even as she faces her own death. Laughing one minute we are shuddering with a
stealthy empathy the next. One of the funniest plays of 1991 as well as one of
the wisest and most moving. |

Jack (C. S.) Lewis is smug in his convictions
about God and His plan for the world until Joy Gresham and her young son enter

| One of the most thrilling courtroom dramas ever
written, 12 Angry Men began in the days of live television as a Studio One
teleplay, then became a critically acclaimed film and finally, a brilliant stage
play. An all male jury must decide the guilt of a young man accused of murder.
Their first vote results in 11 for conviction and 1 for acquittal. |
Curse of the Starving Class by Sam Shephard |

"...a play of eloquent intensity, whirlwind
farce....and poignant insight."---Time
The setting is a farmhouse somewhere in the American West, inhabited by a family
who have enough to eat, but not enough more to satisfy the other hungers which
bedevil them. The father is a drunk; the mother a frowzy slattern; the daughter
precocious beyond her years; and the son a deranged idealist who wants something
better but has no clear idea of how to attain it. Shepard has once again made a
brilliant and macabre excursion into his personal nightmare view of America.
**Warning: Strong language and adult situations. |

| From 1928, this hallmark of Marx Brothers lunacy
was recently revived on stage by Washingon's Arena Stage. Audiences flocked as
critics from coast to coast applauded the antics of Captain Spalding and company
at Mrs. Rittenhouses's ritzy weekend gathering. Disorder is the order of the
evening and lowbrow humor is its high calling. A profusion of puns, gags and
hysteria with only an occasional pause for a breath..or gasp! |
Play It Again, Sam by Woody Allen |

| Our homely hero has a thing about Humphrey Bogart.
If only he had Bogart's technique! Homely heroes being in short supply, Bogey
himself comes to the rescue with a fantastic bevy of beautiful girls. It's a tough
life, making it in the world of beautiful people, but it is grand fun to follow. |
