Synopsis:

THE BAD INFINITY is the first published collection of plays by one of America's best-known and most widely performed experimental playwrights. Mac Wellman's biting social satire, Joycean language games, outrageous humor, and provocative subject matter have been the focus of critical acclaim on both coasts and stormy controversy on Capitol Hill. Now, with the publication of eight of his most provocative works of recent years, the playwright hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "one of the contemporary stage's premier masters of syntactical scat" is introduced to an even broader audience.

Review:

"It is a powerful selection of experimental plays which will attract considerable and sustained attention." -- The Reader's Review

"The Bad Infinity is invaluable for tracing Wellman's evolution, from the Godotesque landscape in Harm's way (1978) to the parody of Jesse Helm's NEA 4 furor in 7 Blowjobs (1991)." -- Theater
