Featuring previously unpublished workDoug Bost, Lisa D'Amour, David Greenspan, Cynthia Hopkins, Liz Meriwether, and Katie Pearl. Introduction by the Editors.
Play: A Journal Of Plays is devoted to reinventing the life of plays on the page. Play: A Journal Of Plays publish open texts, instruction manuals, scenarios, song cycles, choreographic notations, and other evidence that the inside of the playwright's brain seldom resembles standard formatting.
Still wonderfully curated, but with a more uniform structure/typography to go along with the over-arching theme of architecture. Lisa D'Amour and Katie Pearl's Always/Never Her Trilogy is endlessly fascinating, and the meta-theatricality of David Greenspan's She Stoops to Comedy took me by surprise in the best way possible. I feel like I keep gushing about this journal, but it really is a prime example of play publishing done right. I'm also very excited to see HEDDATRON, first published here, performed in Pittsburgh later this year.
