The Deatherians

In Amsterdam, the evil Dr. Krator—better known as "Dr. Death"—plots how to bring more patients into his clinic for euthanasia, while others involve themselves deeply in Amsterdam’s notorious porno activities. O’Keefe’s play is a dark satire of the late-twentieth-century destruction, a world obsessed with death and degradation.

An Anthology of Solo Performance Texts from the Twentieth Century

Solo performers all have a story to tell and in so doing speak directly to each member of their audiences. Each artist in this anthology adds a fresh voice to the genre. Readers are introduced to monologs and performance pieces that come from a variety of artists.
