Synopsis

Stephen Adly Guirgis has been hailed as one of the most promising playwrights at work in America today.

A masterful poet of the downtrodden, his plays portray life on New York's hardscrabble streets in a manner both tender and unflinching, while continually exploring the often startling gulf between who we are and how we perceive ourselves.

Gathered in this volume is his current off-Broadway hit, " Our Lady of 121st Street," a comic portrait of the graduates of a Harlem Catholic school reunited at the funeral of a beloved teacher, along with his two previous plays: the philosophical jailhouse drama" Jesus Hopped the A Train" and" In Arabia, We'd All Be Kings," an" Iceman Cometh "for the Giuliani era that looks at the effect of Times Square's gentrification on its less desirable inhabitants.
