A collection of four works from the American playwright known as “wizardly … magical and funny … a master of language” (The New York Times).
This collection brings together four full-length plays from the same dazzling pen that produced the one-act comic masterpieces of All in the Timing.
Polish Joke is about a young Polish-American’s trip through ethnic stereotypes. Nine-year-old Midwesterner Jan Bogdan Sadlowski, nicknamed Jasiu, is told by his uncle that Poles are thought to be “backward, stupid, inept, and gloomy. ” The only way out is for Jasiu “to impersonate someone not Polish. ”
In Don Juan in Chicago, a Renaissance innocent makes a deal with the devil, only to become a reluctant Latin lover.
Ancient History is a comedy-drama about the holy war that breaks out when two people from two very different cultures fall in love.
The Red Address paints a searing portrait of a man with a secret who is forced by tragedy into self-revelation.
Praise for David Ives
