Varied in style and tone but rooted in engaging and diverse characters in highly compelling stories, the plays explore everything from convicts in a prison barber shop, to British women at a possibly nefarious tea engagement, to two New Yorkers fighting addiction at a diner just weeks after New Year's, to an elderly couple's surreal quest to survive despite terminal diagnoses, and much more. The brilliant variety and depth of the material in this collection is a true treat for any Theatre lover or practitioner.
