A WORK OF GENIUS This collection is worth buying for the inclusion of Amy's Freed's THE PSYCHIC LIFE OF SAVAGES, which is with no exaggeration a work of staggering genius. Freed's tragicomedy tells a semi-fictional story about four American mid-century poets -- Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Anne Sexton and Robert Lowell -- as a springboard for investigating the nature of art and the moral fabric of the era. Along the way Freed PARODIES these poets, plus Emily Dickinson, in a way that is both spot-on and hysterically funny. I saw PSYCHIC LIFE during its run in 1995 and can say without question that it remains one of the most memorable nights I have ever had in the theater. The good news is that the experience, I found, also translates well to the page -- so you can experience it, too. September 04, 2000

great theater publishes top-notch plays! I'm a huge Woolly fan and even being biased, I must say that this is an exceptional collection. The plays included are from the hottest and most interesting new-new playwrights in the country. Robert Alexander's work, "The Last Orbit of Billy Mars," was nominated for the Charles Macarthur New Play Award here in Washington, DC. All of the plays in this collection were highly successful shows for a great nationally-known theater! Definitely worth checking out if you're an off-off Broadway type of theater fan or producer.
