Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 45th Series - Paperback

by Krista Knight (Author)

One of Manhattan's most established play festivals, the Samuel French Off Off

Broadway Short Play Festival fosters the work of emerging writers, giving them

the exposure of publication and representation. The 45th collection includes:

Slow Jam - Following their sex therapist's advice, Jamie and Charlie try to set

the mood as they practice staying present during physical intimacy. A tenderly

clumsy attempt to reclaim sexual connection in the wake of trauma.

The Falling Man - Inspired by Richard Drew's infamous photograph, two

women war with a journalist in the aftermath of their father's absence in post-

9/11 New York.

Voir Dire - This Kennedy Center Award-nominated short play follows a

diverse set of women as they are interviewed for jury duty on a sexual assault

case in New York City.

I Didn't Think You'd Be So Unhappy - Rebecca and Jules are bat mitzvah

party motivators. They are best friends. They are growing up, and it's hard.

Masking Our Blackness - Five friends gather to welcome in the new year

and share resolutions on how to survive another 365 days of being Black in

America.

Crush - Picking up roughly from where Kafka left off - a loner, squatter, and

rebel dares to love.
