Description - Cellophane by Mac Wellman

Celebrated for his dizzying linguistic inventions, his experimental narratives, his biting social and political critiques, and his absurdist sense of humour, Mac Wellman has become one of America's leading avant-garde playwrights. In this volume, Wellman offers the 11 plays that he considers his most important: "Albanian Softshoe", "Mister Original Bugg", "Cleveland", "Bad Penny", "Cellophane", "Three Americanisms", "Fnu Lnu", "Girl Gone", "Hypatia", "The Sandalwood Box", and "Cat's-Paw". Written between 1983 and 1998, they showcase Wellman's on-going exploration of the limits of language and the consequences of humanity in the post-modern world. Also included in this volume is his essay on the theatre, "A Chrestomathy of 22 Answers to 22 Wholly Unaskable and Unrelated Questions Concerning Political and Poetic Theater".
