Description: Stephen Adly Guirgis has been hailed as one of the most promising playwrights at work in America today. A masterful poet of the downtrodden his plays portray life on New York's hardscrabble streets in a manner both tender and unflinching while continually exploring the often startling gulf between who we are and how we perceive ourselves. Gathered in this volume is his current off - Broadway hit Our Lady of 121st Street a comic portrait of the graduates of a Harlem Catholic school reunited at the funeral of a beloved teacher along with his two previous plays: the philosophical jailhouse drama Jesus Hopped the A Train and In Arabia We'd All Be Kings an Iceman Cometh for the Giuliani era that looks at the effect of Times Square's gentrification on its less desirable inhabitants.
