The Evening, a moving new drama by award-winning playwright Richard Maxwell, centers around three archetypal barflies, who together form an elegy of universal loss. Maxwell's inspiration for writing this play after losing a loved one seeps poignantly into his illustration of the stark reality and emotional tumult of coping with death. Samara is a mythic tale of redemption that follows a messenger through a bleak frontier in his quest to collect a debt, though the human cost of the journey may be more than he bargained for. This volume also includes the short play Guardian of the Shrine.
Three plays about life and mortality from one of the great contemporary experimental dramatists.
