Summary:

Playwright and actor David Greenspan has been a leading figure in Manhattan's downtown performance scene for over 20 years. His numerous accolades include a Guggenheim fellowship and three Obie Awards for his Off-Broadway work, and most recently an Obie for Sustained Achievement. Tony Kushner once declared Greenspan "probably all-around the most talented theater artist of my generation," and New York Times has called his performances "irresistible". This collection brings together five of Greenspan's most important works, accompanied by a critical introduction and new interview with the playwright.
