Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This anthology features six plays by celebrated Chicago playwright Mickle Maher, who has been described by the Houston Chronicle as "one of the most original voices in American theater today," and by the Chicago Reader as "a master at creating complex, paradoxical works that encompass their own contradictions." Maher's plays engage classic literature as a jumping off point for seriously unusual comedic dramas, often dealing with the absurdity, difficulties, and rewards of artistic endeavor. His work has been influenced by or compared to Eugene Ionesco, Maria Irene Fornes, Kenneth Koch, and Edward Albee, among others. This edition is designed to be useful for schools and other organizations that wish to mount productions of Maher's plays, which generally feature small casts and simple scenery and stagings, and thus can be easy to produce.Production rights for any of these six plays can be requested from the publisher.The anthology includes:An Apology for the Course and Outcome of Certain Events Delivered by Doctor John Faustus on This His Final EveningOn the night Faustus concludes his bargain with Mephistopheles, he apologizes to a group of random people for his failure to keep a diary of his fabulous life.The Hunchback VariationsLudwig von Beethoven and Quasimodo present a panel discussion on their failure to create an impossible sound called for in a stage direction in Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.Spirits to EnforceTwelve telefundraisers with secret identities work to raise money for a superheroic production of The Tempest in a bid to save Fathomtown from Professor Cannibal and his band of evil doers.There Is a Happiness That Morning IsHaving engaged the evening before in a highly inappropriate display of public affection on the main lawn of their rural New England campus, two lecturers on the poems of William Blake must now, in class, either apologize for their behavior or effectively justify it to keep their jobs.Song About HimselfIn a dystopian future, a woman made extraordinary by her ability to speak relatively clearly tries to connect with others on a mysterious social media site created by a rogue artificial intelligence.It Is MagicDeb and Sandy are auditioning Tim for the role of the Wolf in a production of The Three Little Pigs, but there's a mysterious haze in the basement of the Mortier Civic Playhouse and that, in addition to interruptions from the director of the Scottish play that's going on upstairs, is making things difficult.

Contents include: Ugly's first world, Necessity, Innocence and other vices, Letter purloined, There is a happiness that morning is . With preface, intro, bios, theater production history, etc. More If You've Got It brings together five full-length plays from Chicago's acclaimed Theater Oobleck. This collection features works by five founding members, each currently active with the company: Ugly's First World by Jeff Dorchen, in which a singing zombie, seeking revenge against T. S. Eliot, becomes a pawn in a battle to overthrow God; Innocence and Other Vices by Dave Buchen, a half-true, half-blasphemous screwball comedy about the mildly unhealthy relationship between charity and capitalism; Letter Purloined by David Isaacson, a whodunit comedy about war atrocities and a handkerchief; There Is a Happiness That Morning Is by Mickle Maher, a play in rhymed verse, about the poetry of William Blake and having sex in public; and Necessity by Danny Thompson, a bloody and historically inaccurate bio-drama of Thomas Alva Edison. See what audiences around the world have come to know as uniquely Oobleckian: irreverent, vexed, impossibly funny, and unexpectedly transcendent. Keywords: Ugly's first world, Necessity, Innocence and other vices, Letter purloined, There is a happiness that morning is, Chicago, Theater.

"Master Stitchum and the Moon is neither a book of poetry nor a book about God or gods, exactly - though it contains poems, song lyrics, and heaaven and angels, and a suspiciously all-powerful, cigar-smoking character. the story starts when the world was 'so young that the mountains only came up to a person's chin and snowflakes came in just twenty-three shapes.' Master Stitchum, hero of the book's title, is a tailor who 'never did any tailoring.' He's too busy correcting faults: 'as the sun would set (with a few too many pinkish hues, he thought) he'd encounter a clump of dirt, sitting the wrong way on a hill.' His brother Pitchum is 'the town slop shoveler,' but there's no slop, and theri little sister Helga - well, she spits. The world is so young there isn't any moon, and people stumble around at night, bumping into things. It's up to Stitchum, Pitchum, and Helga to change the course of history, thanks to author Maher, who lets his imagination run free .the man can certainly write. Spiiro Dousias's illustrations are appropriately skewed, light-handed, and childlike. They add life to an already abundantly lively work." - Liz Rosenberg, The Boston Globe. - from the rear outer dust jacket. "Inside this book is a CD containing 3 songs that accompany the story of Master Stitchyum and the Moon. COmposed and performed by the world renouned singer/songwriter Michael Smith." - from the rear outer dust jacket. "Michael Smith's wistful music adds to the electrifying air of creativity." - Chicago Reader. Signed by Author(s).
