About the author

Jane Martin is the pen-name of a playwright speculated to be former Actors Theatre of Louisville artistic director Jon Jory. Jon Jory, Martin's spokesperson, denies being Jane Martin but has directed the premieres of Martin's shows.

Martin has traditionally been billed as a Kentucky playwright. While speculation about her identity centers around Jory, other theories have cited former Actors Theatre of Louisville Executive Director Alexander Speer, former Actors Theatre Literary Manager Michael Bigelow Dixon, and former intern Kyle John Schmidt.

Jane Martin's key credits include Anton in Show Business, Back Story, Coup, Cementville, Criminal Hearts, Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage, Vital Signs, and Talking With... Martin's Keely and Du won the 1994 American Theater Critics Association New Play Award and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

Reviews

[Gabrielle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whoever Jane Martin really is, the writing is topical, timely, brave and entertaining. This play explores issues of patriotism, racism, sexism, religion, consumerism, and Marxism. And it all takes place at the city dump. Fabulous.

[Paula · Rating 4 out of 5]

Humorous play that is a quick read. It's one of those plays where I was disappointed at the end, but after thinking about it for a couple of days, it all made sense and and loved it!
