Author: Edited by Richard Maxwell, Michael Schmelling, Robert Snowden. Jim Fletcher, Emily Hoffman, Richard Maxwell, Robert Snowden.This is the first publication on the plays of Ne w York-based experimental theater director and playwright Richard Maxwell (born 1967) and his company New York City Players. His plays have been commissioned by The Wexner Center, Columbus; The Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Performance Space 122, The Kitchen and Soho Rep in New York; and The Barbican Centre, London. The book captures the experience of actually watching the plays by way of screen-grabs and captions, and in doing so documents nearly 20 years of work."The writer and director Richard Maxwell is a stylist of the first order ... When I read or think about a Maxwell text, I don't so much recall any other writer. Rather, I think about visual artists and colors...." -- Hilton Als, The New YorkerISBN 9780997964707.
