Sex Plays

Description

"Bogosian is greatly and bilaterally talented... spiky, stinging and caustic, without cauterizing. And funny." - New York "Bogosian is a born storyteller with perfect pitch." - New York Times Sex Plays includes Skunkweed, a culture clash between an L.A. screenwriter and a working-class woman held captive in a hotel room by her rural Florida family, and 1+1, an exploration of desire, greed and personal responsibility through the lives of a good-looking hustler, an ambitious pretty girl, and a "good guy," who always seems to finish last."
