4 by Malpede Plus an Intervention

By Karen Malpede

Collected here are four full-length plays and one piercing scene by the eminent poetic language, social justice dramatist, Karen Malpede:
The particular twists in bloodlines, in psychosexual scars, in cataclysmic social forces are what US exposes; the very particular violence and reconciliations that recur endlessly between two disparate human beings who confront one another as lover and beloved.
Better People are to be concocted in this genetic research play that interrogates the true import of better.
From the depths of a dystopia, in the wake of the climate apocalypse, four rebels enact a daring plan to give birth to something new -- to beings Other Than We.
In a great leap of fellow feeling, the separate griefs of three diverse characters converge -- together with that of a blue roan horse: Blue Valiant.
From the fastness of observation, in Dinner During Yemen, two foreign experts dine to the tune of bloodcurdling screams.
Each of these works represents a heroic attempt to liberate the world.
