Produktbeschreibung

A striking line-up from modern theater's rising stars, these award-winning plays-whose accolades include a Tony nomination and a Pulitzer Prize-herald the future of American writing, art, and performance.

This groundbreaking collection of works by first- and second-generation immigrants to the U.S. unites seven exhilarating new voices of Lebanese, Nigerian, Korean, Bengali, Polish, and Mexican descent. Resounding beyond the stage, their stories draw on common experiences of displacement, alienation, and the feeling of being divided; sometimes torn between two worlds, sometimes plummeting into the spaces between them. Among the wrenching love triangles, vengeful landscapes, feral children, and buried family mysteries of these tableaux flickers something universal; the search for safety and the promise of home. Both haunting and galvanizing, What This Place Makes Me will be a vital touchstone for years to come.
