The story of a family's travels from West Virginia to New Mexico.
With her signature absurdism and lyrical language, acclaimed American playwright Tina Howe contemplates love, marriage, family, death, art and, ultimately, the very wonder of life. Including one of her first plays, Birth and After Birth, her most recent play, One Shoe Off, and the surrealistic masterpiece Approaching Zanzibar, this anthology encompasses a career of innovation and irreverence that spans three decades.
A selection from over fifty sources including published and unpublished plays, blockbuster movie hits, independent films, foreign films, teleplays, poetry, and diaries.
A leading writer on American theatre explores the works and influences of ten contemporary American playwrights.
Moving Parts offers actors the best monologues from great plays—pieces by both well-known and up-and-coming playwrights, including many minority artists—that offer a variety of dramatic styles for beginning and experienced actors. Included are more than a hundred monologues from such contemporary voices as Eric Bogosian, Caryl Churchill, Christopher Durang, Maria Irene Fornes, Athol Fugard, Philip Kan Gotanda, Václav Havel, Lanford Wilson, and George C. Wolfe. Designed for easy browsing, the monologues are indexed by gender, age, and subject to help actors locate appropriate material, and each is introduced with a short description of the plot, setting, and character type. These monologues stand on their own as good theater, while they give actors a well-defined character, a story to tell, and a wide range of behavior and feeling to portray.
“[Birth and After Birth is] as appalling as it is perceptive…one of the more primal works by this woman who describes herself as a ‘well-mannered anarchist.’”—Newsday A revised edition of Howe’s early farce Birth and After Birth, about overweening parents and their four-year-old child. Also included are Approaching Zanzibar, a comedy about mortality, and the “rich, gorgeous and compelling” (New York Post) domestic drama One Shoe Off. Tina Howe was born and lives in New York City. Major honors include an Outer Critics Circle Award, an OBIE Award for Distinguished Playwriting, and a Tony Award nomination for her play Coastal Disturbances.
