Summary: A Few Good Plays
Review: Though it is difficult to locate in America, this collection of plays by Judith Thompson is well worth finding. Readers who appreciate Thompson's other work, like her play Lion in the Streets, are likely to connect with these works. Thompson uses compelling language to create resonant images and characters, (notably, many are female), who have strong voices. Some themes and images recur in her work, gender, class and race are examined in some of the material and images of birth and babies repeat. Two thumbs up real high.
