Opis

Author L. Shapley Bassen brings together a new and fresh collection of shorts and scripts. As a finalist for the 2011 Flannery O'connor award and native New Yorker, Bassen gives us theatre folk, 1987, and life in the Big Apple. She is winner of the 2009 APP Drama Prize and Mary Rhinehart Fellowship. Contents SHOWFOLK A year in the life of Arthur Hopewell, a young playwright at a regional theater, The Green Door. He dreams of traveling the world, but magic, mayhem, and mistaken identity intervene, onstage and off. In the comic tradition of 'Michael Tolliver Lives' and 'Bridget Jones's Diary' we experience 1987, the metropolis, the starving artist, the art. PORTRAIT OF A ROTARY PHONE A child's discovery of an old letter prompts a multi-faceted reevaluation of the past.
