By Nick Jones, Taylor Mac, Jen Silverman, et al.

Bringing together some of the innovative, thought-provoking, and daring new works from New York's downtown theater scene, The Downtown Anthology offers a rich collection of plays from both up-and-coming and established playwrights.

Includes: A Map of Virtue by Erin Courtney; We Are Proud To Present A Presentation About The Herero Of Namibia, Formerly Known As Southwest Africa, From The German S dwestafrika, Between The Years 1884-1915 by Jackie Sibblies Drury; Trevor by Nick Jones; The Lily's Revenge by Taylor Mac; Alice in Slasherland by Qui Nguyen; Phoebe in Winter by Jen Silverman.

Trevor: "Hugely entertaining tragicomedy... the genius of Jones's] play is how he has so cleverly humanized both characters." - Chicago Sun Times

The Lily's Revenge: "...offers so many incidental pleasures that theatrical time - always a curiously malleable element - seems to contract." - New York Times

A Map of Virtue: "With a Hitchcockian sensibility, Courtney] makes psychodrama out of the mystery of what keeps people together even as imaginations and egos push them apart. Like a souvenir from a fleeting dream, this play will pass over you painlessly, and then it will linger." - Backstage
