Summary

Since the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway premiere ofBach at Leipzigin 2005, Itamar Moses has been hailed as one of the most promising playwrights at work today. Collected in this volume are three plays that span his career to date. As withBach at Leipzig, Moses here blurs the line between fact and fiction, using today's most compelling issues along with public figures past and present to explore ideas of freedom, morality, and truth. In his most recent work,Back Back Back, the pressures of performance and reputation get the best of three professional baseball players when they are forced to confront the not-so-natural secrets some use to win the game. WithCelebrity Row, Moses imagines what Timothy McVeigh, Ted Kaczynski, 1993 World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef, and Latin Kings leader Luis Felipe would have philosophized about while they were inhabitants of Colorado Supermax, the most secure prison in America. And finally, inOutrage, one of Moses's earliest plays, the dangerous teacher/disciple relationship calls all of academia into question with the help of none other than Socrates and Bertolt Brecht.
