Joyce Cho Plays collects five plays by Scott Adkins, Kelly Copper, Karinne Keithley, Sibyl Kempson, and Amber
Reed. Ludicrous, lyrical, weird and loving, these plays have in common a total
disregard for realistic manifestation of their extravagant, poetic scenarios. Dedicated
to proposing solutions for new plays not written with a traditional dramaturgy
or staging syntax, the five playwrights of Joyce Cho pursue experiments that
challenge the conventions of playwriting as she is known. In the words of Mac Wellman, The
five playwrights of Joyce Cho--Scott Adkins, Kelly Copper, Karinne Keithley,
Sibyl Kempson and Amber Reed--are among the most exciting, imaginative and
profound theater writers in our time, in any time. Joyce Cho is a genius, and a
genial one. No one is thinking as deeply and as complexly on what our theater
is and is not; nor on what she could be. I do not understand the work of these
writers in the same way I do not understand the sky, the sea, and the secret of
the forest. They are unlike any others I know in the theater of our time. Pay
them heed. The volume includes: Running
Commentary No. 4 by Scott Adkins, Christmas Cracker by Kelly Copper,
Do Not Do This Ever Again by Karinne Keithley, Zeit af der
KurbisGeistNachten by Sibyl Kempson, and The Grand Kindness by Amber
Reed.
