From: Two-Hander Plays2f per play / Drama / Unit setAward-winning new playwright Jane Shepard comes to print with four powerful short plays for women.
Edgy original and with a darkly funny humanity here are four pieces that give new muscle to actresses providing roles of exceptional range.
All successfully produced on the New York stage each play features two-woman casts with age-open roles in work that explores our tender brave and sometimes brutal search for meaning.
