Información sobre este eBook
". . . one of the country's most prominent experimental dramatists."
- The New York Times
Here are five enthusiastically received plays set in New York by Charles Mee: Coney Island Avenue, The Mail Order Bride, Queens Boulevard, Utopia Parkway, and Our Times: On the Street Where I Live.
"You would have to be blind not to be impressed . . . "
- CurtainUp.com
"In Queens Boulevard . . . Mee essentially throws a lavish, heartfelt party for New York City's most diverse borough. Guests at the wedding of Vijay . . . and Shizuko . . . cavort in traditional Indian and Japanese costumes on Mimi Lien's festive scenic re-creation of Jackson Heights' polyglot street life; Russian bath denizens do a swiveling striptease to Pakistani qawwali music . . . ; the playlist riffs gleefully through francophone rap, Okinawan folk-pop and ABBA karaoke. Mee's loose-limbed plot - based on an Indian Kathakali play and inflected with Homer - sends his newlyweds on diverging quests, all the better for them to get instructively tangled in nets of social discord and obligation. Vijay's friend Abdi . . . passionately hammers home Mee's point: that the 'social love' of a community 'makes a safe place for our personal love to flourish.'. . . Dig in the dancing Queens, indeed."
