Three Plays
Description:... "In the three plays collected here—Grimly Handsome (OBIE Award for Best New American Play), Dreamless Land, and Every Angel is Brutal—Julia Jarcho, hailed as a “vital talent” (The New Yorker) and “one of our more compelling playwrights” (Time Out New York), mashes up noir, terror, and action genres. The weird, taut surfaces of her stories hypnotize, while the plays burrow into unanswerable questions that never come fully into focus but rather lay within the whole like a kind of groundwater: What is the impulse to violence? Could we hold a memory that precedes our experience?" -- Publisher website.
