All the Rage
Synopsis:
A blood-splattered body lies on the living room carpet at the start of ALL the RAGE. By the end of this examination of our culture of violence, eleven characters have been killed, sent to prison or gone mad. Yes, ALL the RAGE is a comedy. the action takes place in unnamed city today, in a series of scenes that show the interconnected lives of ten characters. Among them are an estranged husband and wife, a gay couple, a criminal and his underage sister/lover, an eccentric millionaire and his former personal secretary turned video store owner. they all come in contact and set a chain of violent events in motion. A modern-day Jacobean Revenge Tragedy, ALL the RAGE gives us a picture of a world spinning out of control, as everybody has a gun and is ready to use it.

Almost Blue
Synopsis:
ALMOST BLUE is a stage noir set in a seedy rooming house. A man just out of prison trying to stay straight, a strange loner down the hall who writes pornographic greeting cards, a violent ex-con who wants to settle old scores. And of course, the beautiful woman in trouble, who messes with everybody's head. Written in a series of brutal, funny encounters, ALMOST BLUE is a journey into the dark night, full of plot twists and sultry exchanges.

Black Snow
Synopsis:
Sergei Maxudov is reluctantly working as a newspaper man and has written a novel everyone is sure will never pass the censors. In despair, Maxudov is about to commit suicide when he is interrupted by the mysterious Rudolfi, a publisher who wants to buy the novel. But after the novel's first installment appears in print, Rudolfi unaccountably disappears, leaving Maxudov in the lurch. But Maxudov's bleak literary prospects are rescued once again, when a note is slipped under his door requesting him to come immediately for a talk with Ilchin, the holder of a long string of artistic titles at the renowned Independent theatre. Maxudov accepts an offer to adapt his novel for the stage, and sets off on a roller coaster ride in the tumultuous world of the Independent theatre. Seeing his play advertised alongside Shakespeare and Sophocles, Maxudov is overcome with giddiness at his new fame, but the experience soon takes a darker turn when he meets the theater's artistic director, the formidable Ivan Vasilievich.

Val, a matriarch, comes to live with her daughter, Jackie. Jackie, recently divorced and having lost custody of her daughter, takes her mother in willingly but also enlists her in a crUSAde to convert everyone to a Jehovah's Witness. the two women comb the neighborhoods with religious magazines, shoring up Jackie's faith and killing Val's optimism, not to mention her feet! Val's other daughter, Maggie, surfaces after a long absence to be told that her mother thinks she's dead-since Maggie vanished years ago, Jackie just thought it easier to lie. Maggie's trying to kick her drinking habit and hearing this news doesn't help. Reacquainted with her slightly surprised mother, Maggie tries to be the ear Val needs that when she can't stand living with either Jackie's fanatical ways or her newfound zealot boyfriend, Chris. Val runs away, but Maggie can't take her in. the hilarious yet dark situations continue as: Jackie develops questions about her faith, and her new husband; Maggie finds sobriety; and grand-mother Val hangs out to help her other granddaughter, Marlene, through it all.

Desperadoes
Synopsis:
Phil and Rebecca have robbed a convenience store and have taken the proprietor, Walt, hostage. Now they are in a rundown motel on the Jersey Turnpike where Rebecca taunts the blindfolded Walt while Phil talks grandiosely of bigger "jobs" to come. the truth, however, is that Phil is a lily-livered bungler, and Walt is a boyhood friend whose store he held up by accident. As Walt distracts Phil with memories of their youthful escapades, Rebecca grows increasingly impatient with both of them. In the end she takes the money and drives off, leaving the ineffectual Phil to salvage what he can of his shattered braggadocio.

Innocents' CrUSAde, The
Synopsis:
In an increasingly bizarre (and funny) series of college admissions interviews, Bill, a bright but unfocused young man, can't seem to convince anyone he's more than just a wishful thinker with average test scores. Even worse, Bill's parents have decided to make a family road trip out of their son's college search and are right there every night when he returns to the motel, dejected from the day's failures. It would be bad enough if Bill decided to give up his dreams of a higher education, but instead each rejection inspires him with a new kind of optimism. Taking a cue from an article his mother gives him about a medieval crUSAde of children (all of whom either starved or drowned on the way to the holy land), Bill takes it into his head that what his generation lacks is a mission and decides to start his own crUSAde, albeit one with few definable goals. Bill's father, a borderline alcoholic, can't fathom it. Instead of offering Bill his support, he waits and watches for an opportunity to discourage his son and force him into the resigned, work-a-day life that he's had to lead since he was Bill's age. As the "crUSAde" proceeds from town to town and shopping mall to shopping mall, Bill accrues an increasingly outrageous entourage, not the least interesting of whom is Laura, a runaway heiress, with whom Bill will fall in love.

Keyhole Lover
Synopsis:
Warren tells of how he used to spy on his sister, Stacey, through the keyhole of the bathroom door, and then, much to Stacey's annoyance, break in on her and her boyfriend, Martin. His actions create a competitiveness and sexual tension which are relieved only when Warren and Martin become close friends, with a relationship which seems to exclude Stacey, but which is then abruptly and coldly terminated by Warren-who must now move on to anonymous strangers in search of the meaningful human relationships which seem destined to elude him.

Krechinsky Muromsky Tarelkin
Synopsis:
A neglected masterpiece of 19th Century Russian literature, this trilogy (boiled down into one evening) is a satirical portrait of human greed, personal pettiness, and the intractable corruption and incompetence of every bureaucratic system. the three parts, written while the author was himself in prison, veer from a satire of drawing-room meloDrama to out-and-out expressionism, featuring a gallery of eccentric characters.

Life And Limb
Synopsis:
As the play begins Franklin, a young draftee, and his new bride, Effie, are on their honeymoon, an idyll which ends when Franklin returns to his unit and then goes off to Korea, where he loses an arm. When he returns home things go steadily from bad to worse; he can't find a job; his wife is having an affair; and they are visited constantly by her best friend, Doina, a Rumanian emigre who mangles the English language and shares Effie's passion for movies. Eventually Franklin lands a job of sorts by virtually selling his soul to Tod, a rather sinister but successful manufacturer of artificial limbs whom Franklin had met in Korea, but his hope of pulling things together at last fails when Effie is killed by a collapsing movie palace balcony. the action then moves to Hell, where Effie and Doina are occupied making potholders and visiting supermarkets and where they are soon joined by Franklin, still the poor innocent searching for an America that promises a boundless, wonderful life-and surely doomed to failure by the oddities and evils of a world he never made.

Life During Wartime
Synopsis:
the play begins with Tommy being initiated into the hard sell tactics of a home-security company by his boss Heinrich. On his first assignment, Tommy meets Gale, a divorced mother with whom he immediately falls in love even though she is quite a few years older than he and has a teen-age son. Tommy soon learns that the home-security company is involved in a scam whereby they burglarize the homes in which the system has been installed. Just after Tommy decides to propose to Gale, her house is broken into and both she and her son, Howard, are killed. In the second act, Tommy confronts Heinrich with the break-in, but Heinrich refuses to accept responsibility, saying that Tommy was naive to believe in the possibility of finding happiness in such a dangerous world. Tommy begins to receive visits from Gale's ghost who comforts him. Also present throughout the play is the spirit of John Calvin, the sixteenth-century religious leader whose belief in Original Sin threads the play with the same feeling of hopelessness and futility that Tommy experiences upon the loss of Gale. It isn't until the last scene when Tommy meets Megan, a woman who might possibly be the reincarnation of Gale, that he comes to believe in the possibility of honestly and lovingly living in the modern world despite the hardships one inevitably faces.

Nebraska
Synopsis:
It's the end of the Cold War, but for the men and women stationed at an air force base outside of Omaha, the tensions of existence seem to increase each day. Dean Swift has been transferred to missile silo duty. Seventy feet underground, in a sealed launch center, the twenty-four-hour shifts take their toll on Swift, his wife, Julie, and his duty partner, Fielding. Dean entered the service, like his father before him, hoping to find a purpose to his life. Instead, he realizes that his choice of profession is a tragic mistake. Fielding, by contrast, is an enthusiastic product of military thinking, secure in the identity given him by his regimented duties. Swift's commanding officer, Major Gurney, has problems of his own. His wife, Carol, is bored with the life on base and tries to drown her sorrows in alcohol and a series of adulterous affairs. Sooner or later they all begin to lose their center in a barren landscape of loneliness and despair. NEBRASKA asks the question what is the cost of keeping the peace.

Throwing Smoke
Synopsis:
deals with the tragicomic problems of a minor league baseball coach, Earl, whose team is so dispirited by the opposing pitcher (who is "throwing smoke" that day) that they have defected. In desperation Earl sends in his West German catcher, Ernie, to pitch, and details the third baseman, Buzz, to search the stands and parking lot for willing replacements. All is finally (and very comically) resolved, but to no avail; the game is canceled, and Earl and Buzz, left alone, light cigars while Earl regales Buzz (for the umpteenth time) with the story of how he once met Jesus in a bar in Panama.
