Edgy and thought-provoking, each play is funny, strange, and provocative in surprising, widely varying ways -- including an apartment that both adores and despises its inhabitants in \u003ci\u003eCrumble (Lay Me Down, Justin Timberlake)\u003c\/i\u003e, a metropolitan housewife who senses that something is watching her in \u003ci\u003e16 Spells to Charm the Beast\u003c\/i\u003e, and a group of traveling freak show performers who reveal a deep humanity underneath their crowd-drawing deformities in \u003ci\u003eFreakshow\u003c\/i\u003e, among other uniquely inventive stories. For over a decade, Clubbed Thumb has had its finger firmly planted on the pulse of new work, and these plays prove it.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncludes the plays \u003ci\u003eThe Typographer's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e by Adam Bock, \u003ci\u003eCrumble (Lay Me Down, Justin Timberlake)\u003c\/i\u003e by Sheila Callaghan, \u003ci\u003eDemon Baby\u003c\/i\u003e by Erin Courtney, \u003ci\u003e16 Spells to Charm the Beast\u003c\/i\u003e by Lisa D'Amour, \u003ci\u003eInky\u003c\/i\u003e by Rinne Groff, \u003ci\u003eDearest Eugenia Haggis\u003c\/i\u003e by Ann Marie Healy, \u003ci\u003eFreakshow\u003c\/i\u003e by Carson Kreitzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Striar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0970904622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780970904621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Playscripts, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.58w x 0.67d","brand":"Maria Striar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926900506879,"sku":"9780970904621","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_20448045-3a64-4fa0-b8f0-3f1fad4e8ad3.jpg?v=1681085658","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/funny-strange-provocative-maria-striar-9780970904621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
