Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - TAKING CARE chronicles the last years of an elderly woman and the mentally ill adult son who has lived with her for almost three decades. Stuck in a cramped, one-bedroom apartment, Ma and Benny have spent much of the past thirty years pretending the other wasn't there. Now that the old woman is more or less house-bound, she foists conversation upon her unwilling son and threatens to institutionalize him if he doesn't clean up his act and start behaving more responsibly. When she breaks her hip, Ma convinces her alienated daughters that their brother is well enough to look after her in her 'recovery.' Realizing that failure to do so could result in institutionalization for both them, Benny tries to rise to the occasion and care for his mother, even as she begins a quick decent into dementia. His new responsibilities test his limited capabilities and force mother and son to forge new bonds in the waning days of her life. '. with this new play McCullough proves she is indeed as much of an artist as she indicated she might be in CHAGRIN FALLS . as an act of play writing and theater it is remarkable, if not brilliant. McCullough gives us a slice of life that is so lifelike and dialogue so realistic, it could pass for a transcript from life. To achieve this level of naturalism, a writer must have keen powers of observation, a strong sense of purpose and the ability to translate her observations into compelling, believable dialogue. McCullough excels in all three categories . TAKING CARE may not make for great commercial theater, but it is something much more important. It is an artistic success, one that plumbs a writer's depth and reveals her range as a writer. There is more to this woman than meets the eye in any one of her works.' -Jack Helbig, Daily Herald '. Mia McCullough's quietly devastating TAKING CARE . scenes that are full of the suppressed rage and tedium that infuse the characters' lives, and that are scraped clean of any hint of sentimentality . a series of many short, seemingly simple scenes that ultimately build to make a powerful statement about human existence. Her play is as lean as a screenplay . TAKING CARE offers something less than a pretty picture, but it is a true one, all around.' -Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - SINCE AFRICA chronicles the relationship between a Dinka refugee from Southern Sudan and three Americans - a North Shore socialite, her daughter, and an African American Deacon - who help him acclimate to Chicago's unfamiliar urban surroundings. A look at American culture through the eyes of an African, this play explores the tensions between blacks and whites, Africans and African Americans, the devout and the non-religious. '. a play of culture shocks and culture clashes, has you reexamining the everyday patterns of the America you take for granted . many flashes of radiance but a subtle through-line.' -Howard Shapiro, The Philadelphia Inquirer 'McCullough uses the characters' relationships with Ater to explore such big themes as cultural imperialism, the persistence of ritual and the human cost of both social isolation and the need to belong.' -James Hebert, The San Diego Union Tribune 'McCullough has written a sensitive and deeply thoughtful play.' -Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The brain of a famous alcoholic/diabetic artist with a deteriorating body is transplanted into the vegetative body of a pro-golfer. When the Patient wakens from his surgery, he must not only figure out how to eat, talk, walk, and paint again, but he must navigate through a deluge of memories that no longer feel like they happened to him. 'A fantastic dramatic vehicle - one that poses complex questions about the relationship between mind and body, the nature of love and death, the source of artistic talent, the roots of identity, and some of the thornier ethical and social issues raised by increasingly radical medical 'breakthroughs.' This is a play that is smart and probing and revelatory.' -Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times 'A fascinating piece of Chicago writing.' -Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune 'ECHOES OF ANOTHER MAN is one of those plays with a premise that excites and engages our imagination completely.' -Rick Reed, Windy City Times.…
