4 by Malpede plus an Intervention

<p>Collected here are four full-length plays and one piercing scene by the eminent poetic language, social justice dramatist, Karen Malpede:<br>The particular twists in bloodlines, in psychosexual scars, in cataclysmic social forces are what <em>US</em> exposes; the very particular violence and reconciliations that recur endlessly between two disparate human beings who confront one another as lover and beloved. <br><em>Better People </em>are to be concocted in this genetic research play that interrogates the true import of better. <br>From the depths of a dystopia, in the wake of the climate apocalypse, four rebels enact a daring plan to give birth to something new — to beings <em>Other Than We.</em> <br>In a great leap of fellow feeling, the separate griefs of three diverse characters converge — together with that of a blue roan horse: <em>Blue Valiant.</em><br>From the fastness of observation, in <em>Dinner During Yemen</em>, two foreign experts dine to the tune of bloodcurdling screams.<br>Each of these works represents a heroic attempt to liberate the world.<br><br></p>
