Description
Contained here are characters with full hearts. They aren't daunted by conflict, they aren't afraid of their anger, they don't over-intellectualize or deflate into introspection. They are crusades of the soul. All this is why Rebeck's characters, noble and vulnerable, are particularly human. Plays included in this volume include "The Nest," "Poor Behavior," "The Way of the World," "Seared," Bernhardt/Hamlet," "Downstairs," and " Fool."Tags
