Few playwrights have explored as relentlessly as Christopher Durang
the pain and confusion of everyday life--or made us laugh so
uproariously at the results. Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All
for You, the center of a storm of controversy for its satire of
misplaced trust in religious authority," remains as powerful today
as when it was originally produced. The excruciatingly funny The
Nature and Purpose of the Universe asks whether Eleanor Mann's
Job-like suffering is really her fault, while Titanic takes us into
the heart of children's anger with their parents and parents'
manipula-tion of their children. In Beyond Therapy, two
horrifyingly human therapists pursue their own needs at the expense
of the most mismatched couple ever to meet through a personal ad.
Also including 'Dentity Crisis and The Actor's Nightmare, this
collection demonstrates that laughter is the best surgery, slicing
through prejudice and hypocrisy, cutting out dead beliefs and
inflamed opinions. These dark comedies, lit by lightning bolts of
truth and humor, are among the most illuminating in American drama,
by "one of the most explosively funny American dramatists"
(Newsweek).
