Evening Plays

by Richard Maxwell

The Evening, a moving new drama by award-winning playwright Richard Maxwell, centers around three archetypal barflies, who together form an elegy of universal loss. Maxwell's inspiration for writing this play after losing a loved one seeps poignantly into his illustration of the stark reality and emotional tumult of coping with death. Samara is a mythic tale of redemption that follows a messenger through a bleak frontier in his quest to collect a debt, though the human cost of the journey may be more than he bargained for. This volume also includes the short play Guardian of the Shrine.
