Log Cabin (Paperback): Jordan Harrison Log Cabin (Paperback)
Jordan Harrison
R370 Discovery Miles 3 700 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

It's a faraway age of hope and inclusivity; in other words, it's 2015. When a tight-knit circle of married gays and lesbians - comfy in the new mainstream - see themselves through the eyes of their rakish transgender pal, it's clear that the march toward progress is anything but unified. With stinging satire and acute compassion, Jordan Harrison's pointed comedy charts the breakdown of empathy that happens when we think our rights are secure, revealing conservative hearts where you'd least expect.

The Amateurs (Paperback): Jordan Harrison The Amateurs (Paperback)
Jordan Harrison
R372 Discovery Miles 3 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

An intrepid troupe of pageant players races across medieval Europe, struggling to outrun the Black Death. The arrival of a mysterious outsider sends Hollis, the leading lady, in search of answers that can only be found off-script... and soon the 14th century plague begins to look like another, more recent one. This wildly inventive and funny new work examines the evolution of human creativity in a dark age: when does a crisis destroy us, and when does it open new frontiers?

Jordan Harrison
R370 Discovery Miles 3 700 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

2015 Pulitzer Prize Finalist It's the age of artificial intelligence, and eighty-five-year-old Marjorie -- a jumble of disparate, fading memories -- has a handsome new companion who's programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits -- if any -- of what technolog

The Grown-Up (Paperback): Jordan Harrison The Grown-Up (Paperback)
Jordan Harrison
R368 Discovery Miles 3 680 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Ten-year-old Kai is given a magical crystal doorknob by his grandfather that enables him to travel through space and time to see future events in his life. The further along he goes, the less he feels like he's seeing into his future, but more that he is living life as most people do; all too quickly. Both poignantly sad and zany, Pulitzer Prize finalist Jordan Harrison expands on the notion that life is too short to miss any moment of it.

Maple and Vine (Paperback, New): Jordan Harrison Maple and Vine (Paperback, New)
Jordan Harrison
R372 Discovery Miles 3 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Dramatic Comedy CharacterS: 2 male, 2 female Multiple Sets Katha and Ryu have become allergic to their 21st-century lives. After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s re-enactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. In this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neighbors - and they themselves - are willing to sacrifice for happiness. "Piquantly funny, cleverly executed and darkly playful." - The New York Times "Jordan Harrison's Maple and Vine does everything a good play should do. It entertains. It makes you think...1950's conformity may not differ much from 2011's, but at least we have our conveniences. Harrison makes you weigh the costs and benefits of both eras without hitting you over the head with his own conclusion. You will enjoy reaching your own." - Theatre Louisville

Adapted by Jordan Harrison and Richard Gray from the last tale by master storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, this new musical odyssey celebrates friendship, whimsy, and the excitement of the unknown.

Amazons and Their Men (Paperback): Jordan Harrison Amazons and Their Men (Paperback)
Jordan Harrison
R418 Discovery Miles 4 180 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Full Length, DramaCharacters: 2 male, 2 female Int.

The Frau used to direct beautiful films for a fascist government. Now she's trying to make a film that's simply beautiful. The Frau casts herself in the lead role of the Amazon queen Penthesilea, who falls in love with Achilles on the battlefield of the Trojan War. She recruits a man from the Jewish ghetto to play her Achilles. Her own sister, a long-suffering extra, plays all the nameless Amazons killed in the background. With chariot crashes and adoring close-ups, it all has the makings of a glamorous war. But when telegrams start to arrive from the Minister of Propaganda, it becomes impossible for the Frau to ignore the real war outside her sound stage. A darkly comedic look at the role of artists during wartime, Amazons and Their Men is inspired by the life and work of Leni Riefenstahl."The life of Leni Riefenstahl...has been examined and critiqued aplenty, but rarely so entertainingly as in Amazons and Their Men, a brash play by Jordan Harrison."-The New York Times" In a dramatic masterstroke, the playwright imagines Riefenstahl's film as it could have been..."-New York Press"Filled with dazzling wordplay, archaic vocabulary, and odd malapropisms, the theatrical worlds of Jordan Harrison lift language off the page and into three-dimensional space, creating a universe that is surreal and sublime, brainy and beautiful-and wholly his own."-Brooklyn Rail
