From our pages (Sept–Oct/09): "This anthology gathers seven plays written after the 1989 Velvet Revolution. The collection is diverse in style and content, confronting the social realities that come with democracy; the cultural effects of globalization; sexual and ethnic identity; political corruption; and religious taboos."
