Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A slime-ball named Coins Fontaine has cashed in. When his account is closed, there's evidence of foul play. Who would want to kill Coins? Everybody! The fingers of suspicion especially point to Coins' hot young widow, a woman with the kind of shape that makes two great first impressions. Then there is Coins' two beautiful grown daughters, one with a Girl Scout fixation; and the other with a head for figures, perched atop a pretty good figure of her own. Watch out, Spuds, danger is everywhere! An affectionate homage to the hard-boiled private dicks who could handle guns and bodacious babes with equal aplomb. This play could make a fun companion piece to the authors' THE TANGLED SNARL (see title for complete description)."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Act Like a Man written by Robert Vorlicky and published by . This book was released on 1995-04-03 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first comprehensive study of plays written for male characters only, Robert Vorlicky offers a new theory that links cultural codes governing gender and the conventions determining dramatic form. Act Like a Manlooks at a range of plays, including those by O'Neill, Albee, Mamet, Baraka, and Rabe as well as new works by Philip Kan Gotanda, Alonzo Lamont, and Robin Swados, to examine how dialogue within these works reflects the social codes of male behavior and inhibits individualization among men. Plays in which women are absent are often characterized by the location of a male "other"—a female presence who distances himself from the dominant, impersonal masculine ethos and thereby becomes a facilitator of personal communication. The potential authority of this figure is so powerful that its presence becomes the primary determinant of the quality of men's interaction and of the range of male subjectivities possible. This formulation becomes the basis of an alternative theory of American dramatic construction, one that challenges traditional dramaturgical notions of realism. The book will appeal to scholars and students interested in drama, gender, race, sexuality, and American culture, as well as playwrights, teachers of playwrights, and artistic directors. It includes an extensive bibliography of more than four hundred male-cast plays and monodramas, the first such compilation and one that points to further research into a previously unexplored area.

Download or read book William Inge written by Richard Leeson and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1994-03-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Inge was one of the most significant dramatists of the 20th century. His dramatizations of the lives of repressed people struggling to sift through, make sense of, or escape from the psychological, sexual, economic, and familial complexities of modern life remain some of the most powerful in the American theatre. He achieved admirable success on Broadway, and several of his major plays were made into popular films. This book details and records his career. The volume contains an overview of Inge's work as a dramatist and demonstrates how his plays have helped shape the modern stage. Included are plot synopses, production histories, and critical commentary for Inge's plays. The volume also presents bibliographic information for dramatic, non-dramatic, and critical writings by Inge, a list of archival material, and annotated entries for books, articles, and reviews that treat his work.
