It's All True
This novel, by a recovered screenwriter about a screenwriter, focuses on Henry Wearie, a 30-something Hollywood professional who is having career troubles. Henry, an observer and sometimes-participant in the movie business, bemoans his failed marriage, becomes romantically involved with a successful woman, goes to LA parties, and builds bookshelves to relax, observing that If I tried to sell the bookshelves, I'd probably hate them, too.

The Goat or Who Is Sylvia?
Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Edward Albee's most provocative, daring, and controversial play since WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, THE GOAT won four major awards for best new play of the year (Tony, New York Dram Critics Circle, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle). In the play, Martin, a successful architect who has just turned fifty, leads an ostensibly ideal life with his loving wife and gay teenage son. But when he confides to his best friend that he is also in love with a goat (named Sylvia), he sets in motion events that will destroy his family and leave his life in tatters. The playwright himself describes it this way: Every civilization sets quite arbitrary limits to its tolerances. The play is about a family that is deeply rocked by an unimaginable event and how they solve that problem. It is my hope that people will think afresh about whether or not all the value they hold are valid.

Medieval and Tudor Drama
The rich tapestry of medieval belief, morality and manners shines through this comprehensive anthology of the twenty-four major plays that bridge the dramatic worlds of medieval and Tudor England. Here are the plays that paved the way to the Renaissance and Shakespeare. In John Gassner's extensively annotated collection, the plays regain their timeless appeal and display their truly international character and influence. MEDIEVAL AND TUDOR DRAMA remains the indispensable chronicle of a dramatic heritage -- the classical plays of Hrotsvitha, folk and ritual drama, the passion play, the great morality play Everyman, the Interlude, Tudor comedies Ralph Roister Doister and Gammer Gurton's Needle, and the most famous of Tudor tragedies, Gorboduc. The texts have been modernized for today's readers and those composed in Latin have been translated into English.

Cyrano De Bergerac
First produced in 1897, CYRANO DE BERGERAC takes place in the 17th century. Rostand`s classic drama presents a complex hero--one who is in the tradition of both the swashbuckling adventurer and the sensitive, more modern thinker and self-questioner. Cursed with ugliness but blessed with sublime wit and poetic ability, the gallant Cyrano loves his cousin Roxanne, who loves the handsome but inarticulate Christian. By means of his own gifts with language, Cyrano selflessly helps Christian woo Roxane--and only when it`s too late does she realize that the passion and eloquence she has prized belong not to Christian but to Cyrano, and that it is her grotesque cousin she has loved all along.
