A collection of contemporary plays on Jewish-American themes
Actually, I am the author of of one of the plays -- THE VALUE OF NAMES. But I have no hesitation about endorsing the rest of the book. There are some other swell plays here, including Margulies's SIGHT UNSEEN, Baitz's THE SUBSTANCE OF FIRE, Gardner's CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FATHER and plays by such other fine folk as Emily Mann, David Mamet, Elizabeth Swados and William Finn. Buying individual acting editions of these plays would run you many times the cost of this paperback. I think it's a bargain and a half! Jeff Sweet
