Miss Julie, David Mamet Fan Club, and Other Plays
From a non-Naturalistic reworking of Strindberg's Naturalistic classic Miss Julie, to a comic debate on the merits of David Mamet, to Live Free or Die, a border-jumping outdoor play with unpredictable changes in time and location, Lance Tait gives us plays that glory in the freedom of the one-act play form, that reject the limitations upon the imagination so often imposed by notions of realism. In addition to dialogue, poetry, movement and music are integral dramatic elements here. These works are uncompromised by prevailing ideas of what theater is; with style and aplomb they show us what theater can be.
