"The the four plays in this volume are] fresh, original and distinctive. Each is verbally deft, and delights in language and its power to entertain, disturb, and just plain dazzle. Each is about human connection - the pain and the difficulty of human connection. And each of these four plays is hopeful, and ultimately optimistic ...] four wonderful plays by four writers with bright pasts and bright futures... The United States is in a golden age of American playwriting - whether we acknowledge it or not - and the four talented writers in this volume strongly attest to that." - Andr Bishop (from his Introduction)
