(Best American Short Plays). "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Really? Words can break spirits, destroy confidence. They can also build hope and incite great acts of heroism. Playwrights know this, and so do theater audiences. Otherwise, why go? Words matter and carry clout every bit as dangerous as a hammer or crowbar. This, too, playwrights know. The monologues in this volume are full of such blows, striking at our imaginations and our memories, generating responses such as joyful laughter or chilling surprise. Others squeeze us into worlds we've never experienced, or perhaps experienced at the furthest edges of memory and recollection. Still others may help us alter the way we see certain things, people, or beliefs. Best Monologues from The Best American Short Plays, Volume Three is a collection of monologues drawn from the popular Best American Short Plays series, an archive of works from many of the best playwrights active today. Long or short, serious or not, excerpts or entireties, this collection abounds in speech acts that may trigger physical reactions and almost certainly will transform an attitude or two, drawing out lost memories, creating new ones, and definitely entertaining, engaging, amusing us all along the way.

Vincent van Gogh continues to fascinate more than a century after his death in 1890. Yet how much of what is commonly known about this world-renowned artist is accurate? Though he left thousands of works and a trove of letters, the definitive Van Gogh remains elusive. Was he a madman who painted his greatest pieces in a passionate fury or a lifelong student of art, literature and science who carefully planned each composition? Was he a loner dedicated only to his craft or an active collaborator with his contemporaries? Why is he best known for self-mutilation and "The Starry Night"? This book has biographers, scriptwriters, lyricists, actors, museum curators and tour guides, among others, presenting diverse interpretations of his life and work, creating a mythic persona that may, in fact, help us in the search for the real Van Gogh.

The latest in Smith and Kraus' highly-acclaimed series, this comprehensive anthology is a rich and varied collection of the work of some of America's most promising new playwrights. Contains:BFF by Anna Ziegler. An Off Broadway success about two teenaged girls. One has a tragic end, the other keeps her memory alive by becoming her.DARK PLAY OR STORIES FOR BOYS by Carlos Murillo. A smash at Louisville's Humana Festival, this provocative play focuses on a teenaged computer whiz who invents an alter ego in order to lure another boy into his fantasy world.INTELLECTUALS by Scott Sickles. This hilarious comedy is about a psychologist who decides to take a ?sabbatical? from her marriage to pursue her untapped potential as a lesbian.LIVING ROOM IN AFRICA by Bathsheba Doran. This intense drama is about a couple who have moved to a small village in Africa to set up a museum there with money donated from the west, only to learn that they are living in an area devasted by AIDS.NO CHILD by Nilaja Sun. This acclaimed long-running Off Broadway hit subsequently toured all over the U.S. and abroad. In it, Ms. Sun played a beleaguered substitute teacher in the inner city high school from hell, hired to work with this problem school's most incorrigible students to present a play. She played all the roles, from herself to students to parents to other teachers to the principal to a veteran, much-beloved janitor in this insightful look at life in a hellish high school.THE PAIN AND THE ITCH by Bruce Norris. This terrific dark comedy achieved Off Broadway acclaim and went on the London, where it was equally sensationally received. It's a hilarious social satire about liberal hypocrisy, focusing on an American family who want it all: moral superiority and a wide-screen TV.VICTORIA MARTIN: MATH TEAM QUEEN by Kathryn Walat. Victoria wants to be Most Popular, but she also wants to be known for her brains. She becomes the first girl ever on her high school's math team - which scrambles the team's all-male dynamic.For over thirty years Lawrence Harbison was in charge of new play acquisition for Samuel French, Inc., during which time he was responsible for the first publication of such luminaries as Jane Martin, Don Nigro, Tina Howe, Theresa Rebeck, Jose Rivera, William Mastrosimone, Charles Fuller and Ken Ludwig, among many others; and the acquisition of musicals such as SMOKE ON THE MOUNTAIN, PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES, A?MY NAME IS ALICE and THREE GUYS NAKED FROM THE WAIST DOWN. He has for many years written a weekly column on his adventures in the theatre for two Manhattan Newspapers, the Chelsea Clinton News and The Westsider. He is a member of the NYC press corps and is an Outer Critics Circle Member. He has served many times over the years as a judge and commentator for various national play contests and lectures regularly at colleges and universities.

Violence against women in plays bywomen has earned little mention. This revolutionary collection fills that gap, focusing on plays by American women dramatists, written in the last thirty years, that deal with different forms of gender violence. Each author discusses specific manifestations of violence in carefully selected plays: psychological, familial, war-time, and social injustice. This book encompasses the theatrical devices used to represent violence on the stage in an age of virtual, immediate reality as much as the problematics of gender violence in modern society.
