"Robert A. Schanke has rustled up a treasure trove of wonderfully hotheaded plays by Mercedes de Acosta. I hope that the discovery of these neglected and forgotten dramas will lead to rambunctious new productions and a celebration of this fantastic woman who haunted our theatrical landscape during the first half of the last century."--Ann Bogart, artistic director of the SITI Company and author of "A Director Prepares: Seven Essays on Art and Theatre"
"It is a pleasure to become better acquainted with Mercedes de Acosta. . . . Six of de Acosta's plays, now edited and made available by Robert A. Schanke, rescue her from a vague, shadowy existence, and allow her to assume a strong identity of her own. These plays, quite varied in their subjects and contexts, reveal a writer with strong dramatic sensitivity and emotional power."--Oscar Brockett, coauthor of History of the Theatre and The Essential Theatre
