From hip performance spaces in New York and Los Angeles to the
heart of Middle America, the last twenty years have seen a rich
proliferation of gay and lesbian performance art In O Solo Homo,
Holly Hughes, the First Lady of queer performance, and theater
critic and professor David Roman have brought together the best
solo work from some of the most acclaimed and influential artists
in the field.
The pieces in O Solo Homo touch nerves that run deep -- racism
and misogyny, AIDS and breast cancer, the struggles and joys of
family and the complicated transcendence of desire. Peggy Shaw, of
the Obie Award-winning trio Split Britches, looks at butch/femme
identity and describes how she learned to be a man. The acclaimed
author, performer, and "gender outlaw" Kate Bornstein takes apart
gender, from the street to the bedroom to Geraldo. The late Ron
Vawter, of the Wooster Group, conjures two very different men who
died of AIDS: diva filmmaker Jack Smith and Nixon crony Roy Cohn.
And Carmelita Tropicana, the "national songbird of Cuba", makes an
unforgettable, hilarious return to Havana. O Solo Homo will move
and provoke you, make you laugh, and make you think.

Holly Hughes is one of the most popular and controversial
out-there-and-in-your-face writer-performers around, and in this
collection of some of her greatest hits she describes her career as
an "escape" artist: how she escaped her conservative upbringing in
a part of the country "where silence was the first language" to
become an award-winning performance artist and playwright as well
as a central figure in America's culture wars. As the Los Angeles
Times observed, "Holly Hughes is everything you always wanted in a
lesbian performance artist-and less."

The women's experimental theater space called the WOW Cafe (Women's
One World) has been a vital part of New York's downtown theater
scene since 1980. Since that time, WOW has provided a place for
feminist and particularly lesbian theater artists to create,
perform, and witness a cultural revolution. Its renowned alumnae
include playwright and actor Lisa Kron, performance artists Holly
Hughes and Carmelita Tropicana, the theater troupe the Five Lesbian
Brothers, and actors/playwrights Peggy Shaw, Lois Weaver, and Deb
Margolin, among others. Memories of the Revolution collects
scripts, interviews, and commentary to trace the riotous first
decade of WOW. While the histories of other experimental theater
collectives have been well documented, WOW's history has only begun
to be told. The anthology also includes photographs of and
reminiscences by Cafe veterans, capturing the history and artistic
flowering of the first ten years of this countercultural haven.

Everyone has an animal story-the pet they loved or hated, the wild
animal that captured their childhood imagination, the nasty dog at
the end of the street, the deer your uncle shot or your neighbour
hit while driving. Telling stories about animals is part of how we
tell the story of being human, but recent scientific breakthroughs
in animal cognition, the exploding interdisciplinary field of
animal studies, and global climate change have all complicated
these stories. Animal Acts collects some of the most exciting,
provocative, and moving solo performances on animals, grounded by
commentaries that help put these engaging works in a larger
context. Animal Acts includes the work of leading theatre artists
Holly Hughes, Rachel Rosenthal, Deke Weaver, Carmelita Tropicana,
and others, along with commentary by major scholars including Donna
Haraway, Jane Desmond, Jill Dolan, and Nigel Rothfels. A masterful
introduction by Una Chaudhuri provides readers a useful foundation
for understanding and appreciating the intersection of animal
studies and performance. The anthology makes an important
contribution to several fields as it foregrounds questions of race,
gender, sexuality, class, nation, and other issues central to the
human project within the discourse of the "post human." The
collection will be of interest to those interested in solo
performance, animal studies, gender studies, performance studies,
and environmental studies.
