Four Plays about Histories

Viac o knihe

"No art ever came out of not risking your neck," Eudora Welty famously said. "Mobile Hymn" and "Great Divide" are two magnificent, breakneck plays about America's addiction to wide open spaces, the road leading to them, and beyond. "Cassatt and Degas" has Mary Cassatt risking her neck in Paris and in a men's world, "The Bear and his Monkey" follows a mighty, jovial Samuel Johnson and his mercurial sidekick James Boswell on that trip to Scotland that changed English literature and the art of biography forever.
