Allen & Unwin Bash book Literature English Paperback 96 pages

Neil Labute's Bash is a collection of three darkly brilliant one-act plays:In Medea Redux, a woman tells of her complex and ultimately tragic relationship with her junior high-school English teacher.In Iphigenia In Orem, a Utah businessman confides in a stranger in a Las Vegas hotel room, confessing to an especially chilling crime.In A Gaggle of Saints, a young mormon couple separately recount the violent events of an anniversary weekend in New York City.All three are unblinking portraits of the evils that are abroad in everyday life; each is distinguished by the raw and yet lyrical intensity that has become Neil Labute's signature.
