Past Curfew (2008 AOPW Fellowship winner) is being published by Next Stage Press in the next couple of months - a dark drama about a relationship between a 17 year old girl and her 34 year old mother (Do the math!) Similar feel to a modern "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?".

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot and Pillowman are both new plays I can't seem to get out of my mind. Definatley worth a read. Just depends how avant garde your theater is, I suppose...

For 'tweens:

" The Pillowman" - amazing play

Katurian, a writer of grisly short stories often showing violence against children, has been arrested by two detectives, Ariel and Tupolski, because some of his stories resemble recent child murders. When he hears that his brother Michal has confessed to the murders and implicated Katurian, he resigns himself to his execution but attempts to save his stories from destruction. The play includes both narrations and reenactments of several of Katurian's stories, most notably the autobiographical "The Writer and the Writer's Brother," which tells how Katurian developed his disturbed imagination by hearing the sounds of Michal being tortured by their parents.
