Wellman, a two-time Obie Award winner, is one of America's leading avant-garde playwrights. This collection of his most important plays includes "Cellophane," a language experiment based on "a debased idea of slang." "Bad Penny" is a parody of contemporary political and media jargon, while "Cat's Paw" is Wellman's take on Don Juan, in which there are no male characters or even talk of men. Another play, "Cleveland," is a biting send-up of suburban life. Also included is Wellman's essay on the theater "A Chrestomathy of 22 Answers to 22 Wholly Unaskable and Unrelated Questions Concerning Political and Poet Theater." Challenging to read, these theater pieces undoubtedly make for fascinating and unique stage experiences. Recommended for comprehensive theater arts collections. Howard Miller, Rosary H.S., St. Louis
