Algonquin Plays Volume One

Four new plays. Four new playwrights. <p><I>THE BOW WOW CLUB</I> by Levy Lee Simon: The reunion of five friends from Harlem opens up a Pandora's box of old wounds new confrontations and surprises none of them is prepared for. A powerful drama (with laughs) and a tribute to the sustaining power of friendship. <p><I>CERTAIN SOULS</I> by Ken Javie: Meet a gambler facing the bet of his life a woman choosing between money and love a doctor delivering bad news. These eight unique stories remind us that hope and the power of the human spirit unite us all.<p> <I>LAST LOVE</I> by Peter Papadopoulos: An apocalypse outside the door a disintegrating relationship within. A darkly funny and surreal tale of emotional warfare. <p><I>MANLY MEN </I>by Bo Wilson: A poignant comedy.
