Published in Spring 1991 by The Ecco Press and edited by Daniel Halpern, this 500-page double-thick installment functions as a comprehensive, specialized archive of late twentieth-century theatrical writing. Departing from its usual poetry and fiction format, this issue compiles dozens of rare, unvarnished scripts from legendary global playwrights, including Edward Albee’s Finding the Sun, Amiri Baraka’s Jack Pot Melting, Christopher Durang’s Naomi in the Living Room, David Mamet's A Life with No Joy in It, and Tennessee Williams's posthumously printed The Chalky White Substance. The collection spans a massive spectrum of tone and composition, balancing traditional social realism with avant-garde monologues, dark absurdist comedies, and political satires. It serves as an essential primary resource for theater directors, actors looking for audition material, and literary historians tracking the evolution of the short-form stage play.
