The Rose Tattoo is larger than life--a fable, a Greek tragedy, a
comedy, a melodrama--it is a love letter from Tennessee Williams to
anyone who has ever been in love or ever will be. Professional
widow and dressmaker Serafina delle Rosa has withdrawn from the
world, locking away her heart and her sixteen-year-old daughter
Rosa. Then one day a man with the sexy body of her late Sicilian
husband and the face of a village idiot, Mangiacavallo (Italian for
"eat a horse"), stumbles into her life and clumsily unlocks
Serafina's fiery anger, sense of betrayal, pride, wit, passion, and
eventually her capacious love. The original production of The Rose
Tattoo won Tony Awards for best play and for the stars, Eli Wallach
and Maureen Stapleton. Anna Magnani received the Academy Award as
Best Actress for the 1955 film version. This edition of The Rose
Tattoo has an Introduction by playwright John Patrick Shanley, the
author's original foreword, the one-act The Dog Enchanted by the
Divine View that was the germ for the play, and an essay by noted
Tennessee Williams scholar Jack Barbera.

certainty in the face of a lack of firm evidence - a big hit on

In the work of John Patrick Shanley, the truth is as charming as it
is painful, reality as touched with magic as it is factual, and
existence as absolute as it is illusory.--BOMB magazineOutside
Mullingar is about the romance of Anthony and Rosemary, neighbors
in rural Ireland, who are nearing their middle years. It is by
turns poetic, uplifting, dark and funny as hell. Anthony is an
introverted farmer and Rosemary is the woman who vows to have him
at all costs. When Anthony's father threatens to disinherit his
son, Rosemary steps into the middle of a land feud and family
eccentricities beyond what one might imagine. On the brink of
romantic catastrophe, this one-of-a-kind Irish heroine fights
against time and mortality in hopes of securing her dream of
love.John Patrick Shanley is the author of Doubt: A Parable
(Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play), Danny and the Deep
Blue Sea, Four Dogs and a Bone, Dirty Story, Defiance and
Storefront Church, among many others. He wrote the teleplay for
Live from Baghdad (Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing for a
Miniseries, Movie or Dramatic Special), and the screenplays for
Doubt (Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay), Five
Corners (Special Jury Prize, Barcelona Film Festival), Alive, Joe
Versus the Volcano, and Moonstruck (Academy Award for Best Original
Screenplay).
The screenplays of award-winning playwright John Patrick Shanley
have earned him a reputation as a gifted writer with a great range
and imagination. His movies Moonstruck, Five Corners, and Joe
Versus the Volcano have starred such Hollywood luminaries as
Cher-who took home an Oscar for her performance in
Moonstruck-Nicolas Cage, Jodie Foster, John Turturro, Meg Ryan, and
Tom Hanks. This collection showcases Shanley's talent for creating
dialogue that is true to his characters and his ability to tell
their stories in eccentric and intensely humorous situations.
