These worlds overflow with hilarious, outlandish, vivid life -- wittily imagined, eloquently rendered, fearlessly explored. Their inhabitants are absurd, anguished, gallant. A delight to experience in the theatre, the tragicomedies of this acclaimed American artist are just as engaging to read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes: \u003cem\u003eCoastal Disturbances, Painting Churches.
