3 To A Session: A Monster's Tale & Lazarus Disposed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780881455168)

The collection includes two short plays: 3 TO A SESSION: A MONSTER'S TALE and LAZARUS DISPOSED. 3 TO A SESSION: A MONSTER'S TALE won the Best Play Award at the Downtown Urban Theater Festival in 2005 (Cherry Lane). In the play, Moreno-Penson unveils a riveting and provocative tale that takes place in a surrealistic realm between life and death. The introspective and child-like Vincent, the smart and steely-eyed Ally, and the sexy, yet uptight plant-lover Paula engage in sexual play-acting scenarios, which lead them into memories of loss, love, longing, and domestic violence. In LAZARUS DISPOSED a missing husband. An unfaithful wife. A laundry-sniffing best friend. And by the way, who's in the bathroom? An oddly comic fable about the value of faith, the fragility of relationships, and the "right" way to tell a bad joke ... just what happened to the husband is unclear, but a mysterious stranger is about to reveal all. "Desi Moreno-Penson's LAZARUS DISPOSED is a wacky little romp, full of broad humor and larger-than-life emotions ... we have become accustomed to a weird and wonderful world where anything can happen, so anything that does happen seems perfectly reasonable. The playwright has set us up to accept any concluding flight of fancy she can devise, and she doesn't waste the opportunity to soar." -Bill Rodriguez, The Providence Phoenix
