Bringing together some of the innovative, thought-provoking, and daring new works from New York's downtown theater scene,
The Downtown Anthology offers a rich collection of plays from both up-and-coming and established playwrights.
Includes:
A Map of Virtue by Erin Courtney;
We Are Proud To Present A Presentation About The Herero Of Namibia, Formerly Known As Southwest Africa, From The German Südwestafrika, Between The Years 1884-1915 by Jackie Sibblies Drury;
Trevor by Nick Jones;
The Lily's Revenge by Taylor Mac;
Alice in Slasherland by Qui Nguyen;
Phoebe in Winter by Jen Silverman.
Trevor: "Hugely entertaining tragicomedy... the genius of [Jones's] play is how he has so cleverly humanized both characters." -
Chicago Sun Times The Lily's Revenge: "...offers so many incidental pleasures that theatrical time - always a curiously malleable element - seems to contract." -
New York Times A Map of Virtue: "With a Hitchcockian sensibility, [Courtney] makes psychodrama out of the mystery of what keeps people together even as imaginations and egos push them apart. Like a souvenir from a fleeting dream, this play will pass over you painlessly, and then it will linger." -
