Having dabbled in texts for performances in his prior books, PLAYS/hauntologies sees Ben Arzate’s first full-length foray into works for the stage. Combining the absurdity of Samue l Beckett, the cruelty of Antonin Artaud, the postdramatic vision of Heiner Müller, and a wide mix of inspirations from genre fiction, these pieces are a deeply eclectic mix. From the surreal science fiction of “The Doomed Flight of the Taurus-19” to the pitch-black humor of “The Confessor” to the seering anti-war monologue “An American Demon,” these plays are guaranteed to entertain, horrify, and bring the minds of readers to new and strange places.
