A necessary volume of women playwrights' work, ranging from a two-time Obie Award-winning author to emerging writers just beginning their careers, it represents a group of women who vary in age, race and sexual orientation and offers an invitation to artistic leaders, scholars and students to embrace gritty, thought-provoking new dramatic work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited by The Festival's Producing Directors Peggy McKowen and Ed Herendeen, this anthology features an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage. Each of the five powerful plays is followed by an informative and discursive playwright interview conducted by Sharon J. Anderson that contextualizes and develops the works within the wider context of the annual festival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe plays include: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGidion's Knot\u003c\/i\u003e by Johnna Adams \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Niceties\u003c\/i\u003e by Eleanor Burgess \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMemoirs of a Forgotten Man\u003c\/i\u003e by D.W Gregory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDead and Breathing\u003c\/i\u003e by Chisa Hutchinson \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e20th Century Blues\u003c\/i\u003e by Susan Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Miller,Eleanor Burgess,Johnna Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350084816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350084810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.60w x 1.00d","brand":"Susan Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436339966207,"sku":"9781350084810","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adbc31f7-e5ef-4ebc-8b35-52acdc397106.jpg?v=1777156393","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plays-by-women-from-the-susan-miller-9781350084810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
