Jump/Cut (Paperback): Neena Beber Jump/Cut (Paperback)
Neena Beber
R386 Discovery Miles 3 860 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Three bright urbanites want to make their mark on the world. Paul, a master of irony and distance, is a hardworking filmmaker on the rise. His girlfriend, Karen, a grad student, must get on with her thesis or find a life outside of academia. Dave, a lifelong buddy whose brilliance is being consumed by increasingly severe episodes of manic depression, is camping on Paul's couch. Paul and Karen decide to turn Dave into a documentary. The camera is on twenty-four hours a day, capturing up-close images of his jags and torpors and their responses. How far will love, friendship, and ambition take this hip trio?

Dew Point (Paperback, Samuel French a ed.): Neena Beber Dew Point (Paperback, Samuel French a ed.)
Neena Beber
R389 Discovery Miles 3 890 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

2m, 3f Can a woman be friends with a womanizer - even if she once dated him herself? And if your best friend wants to date the guy, do you stand in her way? The Dew Point is a play about love and marriage, sex and friendship, authenticity and blackmail...and the lies we tell in order to stay honest. ..".A comedy of sexual manners whose characters are funny yet sympathetic and complexly believable...The success of this deceptively labeled "romantic comedy" lies in the way it zeroes in on the way we deceive others by deceiving ourselves, plumping the bread of friendship into some pretty rancid sandwiches that are, of course, proffered with the best of intentions." - Carolyn Clay, Boston Phoenix "It is a pleasure to report that The Dew Point by Neena Beber, who won a Village Voice OBIE last season for emerging playwright, is an intelligent, well constructed, contemporary drama with sharp, bright, witty dialogue and fully detailed vibrant, believeable characters." - Bob Rendell, Talkin' Broadway

Tomorrowland (Paperback, Samuel French a ed.): Neena Beber Tomorrowland (Paperback, Samuel French a ed.)
Neena Beber
R387 Discovery Miles 3 870 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

3m, 4f Anna has left graduate school to join the real world, as a writer on a children's television show in Orlando, Florida, she finds that world to be more surreal and absurd than anything she's left behind. Tomorrowland takes a darkly comic look at death, Disney, and the search for meaning in a world that worships the young and the fake. "Briskly hilarious comedy about a brittle New Yorker who abandons her doctoral dissertation on Virginia Woolf's use of parenthesis to write scripts for kid's TV show." - Bob Mondello, Washington City Paper "If you are not already terrified by the prospect of the Disneyfication of America, this wry exploration of its possible effects will put the fear of Mickey in you." - Charlie Whitehead, Time Out

Common Vision (Paperback): Neena Beber Common Vision (Paperback)
Neena Beber
R383 Discovery Miles 3 830 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

3m, 3f Six lives collide around a transcendent vision in a night sky. Dolores' private anguish becomes a matter of public debate when a respected psychologist convices her she was abducted by aliens. And to think she thought it was all because she got dumped by some guy. A Common Vision chronicles Dolores' journey when her personal crisis of faith dovetails with a larger cultural phenomenon. "The common vision Dolores, her therapist and witnesses share turns out to be as provocative as it is unreliable. And that's what makes part of Beber's vision so uncommonly rewarding." - Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Examiner "For Dolores, the protagonist of Neena Beber's wryly observant comedy A Common Vision, a possible brush with the paranormal sets into motion a series of vexing incidents... A Common Vision dodges cliche after cliche, thanks to Beber's distinctive deadpan comic touch....at the 1997 Humana new play festival, Beber's 10-minute play "Misreadings" outstripped everything else, short or long, that year in Louisville. Earlier full-length Beber plays, notably "the Brief but Exemplary Life of the Living Goddess" (as told by herself) and "Tomorrowland" revealed a writer of odd, uncommon grace and bone-dry wit, recalling short story ace Lorrie Moore as well as the MTV series Daria. (Beber has written five Daria episodes, so that explains that.) - Michael Phillips, Los Angeles Times
