Description

This collection of Harold Jaffe's short, one-act plays is exceptionally diverse. The nine innovative dramas feature Billie Holiday & Lester Young; Antonin Artaud & Georges Bataille; Marilyn Monroe & Marlon Brando; Samuel Beckett; condemned prisoners in Texas making their final statement before execution; Israelis & Palestinians in life-or-death dialogue; Charles Manson unleashed; Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin & Jim Morrison burning it at both ends; & the potently satirical "Splish Splash," exploring gender discord. "Jaffe's convincing portraits of the dispossessed are moving, insightful glimpses of the human spirit under stress." -New York Times Book Review "Harold Jaffe's latest work, STRANGE FRUIT & OTHER PLAYS, is a compelling exploration of art and history. The book, a selection of dramatic texts, comprises a new literary form for Jaffe, author of 30 books, and his dramas work especially well." -R. Sebastian Bennett, author of THE FINAL YEN and A TASTE OF HEAVEN
