Luna Park: Short Plays and Monologues

Description

A new collection by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Collected Stories Featuring the short plays, one acts and monologues of Donald Margulies, this volume spans almost twenty years of his writings beginning with Luna Park, an early play inspired by Delmore Schwartz, and includes his well-known one act July 4, 1994, which is a hauntingly beautiful examination of a female inner city doctor's life.

Donald Margulies is an increasingly successful American playwright. He lives in New Haven, where he teaches playwriting at the Yale School of Drama. He is the author of Collected Stories, which was seen in the West End with Helen Mirren in the lead, and Dinner with Friends, seen at Hampstead Theatre, for which Margulies won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama

"Superb...A beauty...July 7, 1994, achieved what contemporary theatre does at its best. In reflecting a familiar world, it revealed the sinew, muscle and blood of our own experience" San Francisco Chronicle "Drawing from his own, specific experience, Margulies has indeed created what he calls 'a window to the world' at large. The bits and pieces and detritus of our culture have been used to construct a powerful drama about a new and devastating age of anxiety in the United States. July 7, 1994 ranks as an important work by a gifted and growing American playwright" Chicago Tribune 'A playwright of the most unusual imaginative power' Clive Barnes, New York Post
