520 _aNew Downtown Now brings together ten new works that exemplify the playfulness, excitement, and possibilities of the theater. Though disparate in subject matter and style, these highly original plays share a commitment to formal experimentation that places them beyond the psychological cliches of the majority and the cold condescension of postmodernism.
