“A quietly devastating play… Both
a perceptive drama depicting the
sudden fraying of a young marriage
and a nail-biting psychological
thriller… Belleville is among the
most suspenseful plays I’ve seen
in years.”
—New York Times
Belleville examines the limits of trust
and dependency in a world where
love can turn pathological and our
most intimate relationships may not
be what they seem.
Foreword by Anne Hathaway
A collection of practical acting
tips, tools and exercises, An Actor’s
Companion is ideal for both seasoned
professionals and actors-in-training.
The tips—all simple, direct, and
useful—are easy to understand
and even easier to apply, in both
rehearsal and performance.
Known for his unique brand of
urban lyricism, McCraney paints
an affecting portrait of a gay youth
at a boys’ prep school trying to find
the courage to let the truth about
himself be known. Set against the

Los Angeles and Atlanta.

Richard Nelson
This critically acclaimed, searing
play cycle about loss, memory, and
remembrance follows the Apple
family of Rhinebeck, New York,
as they grapple with events both

(That Hopey Changey Thing), the

Sad), Barack Obama’s re-election
(Sorry), and the fiftieth anniversary
of JFK’s assassination, (Regular
Singing). This quartet of plays is a

Peter Gnit, a funny enough but

a lifetime of bad decisions on the
search for his True Self. This is a

(among other things) how the

six dynamic Palestinian playwrights
from both Occupied Palestine and
the Diaspora, making it the very

A devastatingly beautiful dramatic
work set over the course of the
Civil War, from one of the theatre’s
most lyrical and powerful writers.
“By turns philosophical and playful,
lyrical and earthy… Father Comes
Home From the Wars swoops,
leaps, dives and soars across three
endlessly stimulating hours,
reimagining a turbulent turning
point in American history through
a cockeyed contemporary lens…
Might just be the best new play
I’ve seen all year.”
—New York Times
This modern musical classic has
been performed countless times
all over the world since its
Tony Award-winning debut in
1987. Now Into the Woods has been
brought vividly to life on screen
by director Rob Marshall, the
filmmaker of the Academy Awardwinning musical Chicago, with

Will Eno
Translated and Adapted by
Wallace Shawn
An ode to live theater and the
resilience of The Simpsons, Anne
Washburn’s apocalyptic comedy
Mr. Burns is an imaginative
exploration of how the culture
of one generation can evolve
into the mythology of the next.
Also included in the collection are
The Small, I Have Loved Strangers,
and Orestes, all of which, together,
develop a theme of destruction:
from the personal to the city to
civilization and, finally, to the
destruction of form.
Acclaimed playwright Will Eno
brings his signature irreverence
to this subversive sendup of the
archetypal family drama. The Open
House won the 2014 Obie Award for
Playwriting and the 2014 Lucille
Lortel Award for Outstanding Play.
Meet Bob and Jennifer and their
new neighbors John and Pony,
two suburban couples with more
in common than their identical last
names. Boasting Eno’s quintessential
existential quirkiness, this new
comedy finds poetry in the banal
while humorously exploring our
ever-floundering efforts
at communication.
This translation and adaptation
of Henrik Ibsen’s Master Builder
Solness by Wallace Shawn, a writer
known for his own bleakly hilarious
and provocative plays, was used by
legendary director André Gregory
during fifteen years of work on
a theatrical production which,
instead of being produced as
a play, was made into a film by
Jonathan Demme.

A Practical Guide to Viewpoints
and Composition
ANNE BOGART
and TINA LANDAU
The Viewpoints are a set of

of movement through time and
space—they constitute a language
for talking about what happens
on stage. The book provides the
artist with the history, terminology
and philosophy of Viewpoints and
a step-by-step recipe for using it
as both a training and a rehearsal
technique. This collaboration
of two of our most gifted and
innovative directors is a major
new addition to the practice and
theory of theoretical production
and performance.

Conversations with
Peter Brook
MARGARET CROYDEN
In these interchanges with Margaret
Croyden from 1970 to 2000,
Brook freely discusses major works
such as his landmark airborne
A Midsummer Night’s Dream and
his untraditional interpretation
of the opera La Tragédie de Carmen.
He also covers the establishment
of the Paris Center, his work in
the Middle East and Africa, and
his masterwork, the nine-hour
production of The Mahabharata,
which has virtually reinvented
the way actors and directors think
about theater.

Dramatic Contexts Series
Exposed by the Mask
Form and Language in Drama
PETER HALL
Sir Peter Hall argues that theatre
is only created when emotions are
contained by a form, and that the
form paradoxically gives freedom
of expression. Thus, the Greek
mask, whether it may be the actual
physical mask on the face or the
form of the drama itself, enables
the actor to express hysteria.

Ich, Kurbisgeist
A Map of Virtue
Off the Hozzle
and The Secret Death of Puppets
and Black Cat Lost
A play about golf or thinking or
spirit animals, or a play about the
sublime fixations that technique
requires. Lumberob (Rob Erickson)
is a singular phenomenon of
language, looping and manicobsessive performance intensity,
and his writing employs a syntax
wholly his own. Off the Hozzle
is lurching, digressing, doingundoing, and unlike any other
play you have ever seen.
In a special volume illustrated and
designed by Amanda Villalobos
come two of Kempson’s forays into
the damp, weird soil of ghosts,
curses, and the roots and cousins of
American language. Ich, Kurbisgeist,
an agricultural vengeance play for
Hallowe’en, is written in a variant
of Amer-English so oolde and
wheeurd that you need to train
your tongue and ear to read it. The
three paranormal playlets of The
Secret Death of Puppets are composed
in “Fraunch”, English, and some
kind of Nordic-Latin homonculus
language of the undead.
Two plays from gifted playwright
Erin Courtney, including the
acclaimed, Obie award-winning
A Map of Virtue. Courtney’s plays
unfold in a delicate dance of pattern
and narration; they ring out their
images and meanings as a sequence
of bells: complicating, harmonizing
and remapping their senses as they
run their idiosyncratic course.
A Map of Virtue is a symmetrical
play guided by a bird statue: part
interview, part comedy, part
horror story.

The strongest characters in his cycle

CHANCEMAGAZINE
Chance is a photography magazine and serialized art book that looks at the world through the lens of theater
and design. A calm, noise-free place to engage with the aesthetics of design in detail, Chance integrates all
of the arts, material and non-material, into a single space where the poetry of human thought can expand our
desire for a more provocative and lifted engagement with design.
The team at Chance produces an original photo shoot of nearly every production they cover, and believe that
a more thorough glimpse into the world of design can change the way people think and write about the theater
and the artists who create for it. Started in 2012 by a group of designers, writers and artists, Chance is more
than a magazine. As a thoroughly stylized and high-quality publication, Chance is an immersive, image-rich,
serialized art-book on contemporary events in performance and design that comprehensively redefines
the relationship between theater and print.

The Mistress Contract
What happens when the legacy of a
father collides with the dreams of his
son? A bold, warm, and extremely
funny tale of contemporary extended
family life, from an acclaimed and
controversial playwright.
John Van Druten
A wryly comic look at the life of
women office workers in the 1930s.
First performed in the West End
in 1931 starring a young John
Mills, filmed in 1932, televised in
1963, but unseen since then until
2013, London Wall is a surprisingly
modern look at men’s continuing
inability to see women as
professional equals and colleagues.
Mark O’Halloran,
Bush Moukarzel, Dead Centre
“A very smart, very chilly play…
Lippy cunningly reminds us that
all art is presumptuous in trying
to decipher life’s mysteries. This
willfully self-sabotaging show also
lets us remember that it’s fun—and
necessary—to keep trying.”

A play about authorship and the

Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh

Meredith Monk
Edited by Deborah Jowitt
For more than four decades
Meredith Monk has built an
expansive body of work as a
composer, singer, director,
choreographer and filmmaker.
In this range of virtuosity she
epitomizes the post-war American
artist who is comfortable in so many
different art forms. She is
a pioneer in what is now known as
“extended vocal technique.” New
Yorker music critic Alex Ross has
said of her: “She represents a kind
of reboot of tradition. She may
loom ever larger as the new century
unfolds, and later generations will
envy those who got to see her live.”
