The Arsonists is a lyrical Southern Gothic tale inspired by Electra
about a father-daughter arson team who escapes to the Florida
Everglades. It's a provocative journey from grief to redemption
that delves into the primal bond between parent and child, and
explores if that bond can ever truly be broken.
The book is written by two highly experienced adaptors and
translators from American regional and commercial theatre. The book
takes into account the structural and artistic differences between
adapting from different media into theatre (from film to theatre,
from novel to theatre, etc). The book features interviews with a
range of theatre practitioners versed in all aspects of writing and
teaching translation and adaptation.

An absurdist comedy and fifteenth winner of the Yale Drama Prize,
exploring family, religion, identity, desire, and beauty in Korean
American culture  In a fantastical fairy-tale world, two
Korean American sisters are deemed too fat to fit in their family
grave. Will the sisters’ close bond survive under the pressure of
their community and fretful parents, who will spare no effort to
make them tinier? Â Jar of Fat, the fifteenth winner of the
Yale Drama Prize, is a phantasmagorical, absurdist Korean American
tale about the allure and danger entangled within the quest for
beauty and thinness. Both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply
troubling, Seayoung Yim’s play burns through the accumulated rage
that anti-fat bias produces to reclaim what it steals from us every
day: grace, space, possibility, and breath.

An earthy, cruel, and hilarious family drama of profound and
reckless love Set in a bar in the Florida Everglades, this biting,
brutally funny multigenerational family drama concerns a Gulf Coast
couple, their disabled young ward, two lesbian tenants, and the
bonds that bind them all together. The eleventh winner of the Yale
Drama Series playwriting competition, it is a powerful story born
out of the playwright's own experiences with the rapidly changing
social environment of rural Florida, where long-standing traditions
and beliefs can collide, sometimes dangerously, with new ideas of
personhood, identity, and self-realization. A rich and colorful
melange of American classes and cultures, Bottle Fly recounts a
profoundly human struggle to reconcile the masks worn at home with
the ones donned to go out into the world.
