Decadent Histories: Four Plays by Amelia Hertz

By Amelia Hertz

Four innovative plays by Polish-Jewish playwright Amelia Hertz, whose work is based on bizarre and macabre episodes from history and legend. Hertz creates a tightly controlled theatre of cruelty that confronts extreme situations and poses "no exit" ethical and existential dilemmas. The plays included here deal with fin-de-si cle subjects rife with perverse sexuality and violence.
