Ives's characters plunge into black holes called \"Philadelphias,\" where the simplest desires are hilariously thwarted. Chimps named Milton, Swift, and Kafka are locked in a room and made to re-create Hamlet. And a con man peddles courses in a dubious language in which \"hello\" translates as \"velcro\" and \"fraud\" comes out as \"freud.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once enchanting and perplexing, incisively intelligent and side-splittingly funny, this original paperback edition of Ives's plays includes \"Sure Thing,\" \"Words, Words, Words,\" \"The Universal Language,\" \"Variations on the Death of Trotsky,\" \"The Philadelphia,\" \"Long Ago and Far Away,\" \"Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue,\" \"Seven Menus,\" \"Mere Mortals,\" \"English Made Simple,\" \"A Singular Kinda Guy,\" \"Speed-the-Play,\" \"Ancient History,\" and \"Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-167514\"\u003eDavid Ives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679759287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067975928X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-DRA\"\u003eDrama\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-DRA002000\"\u003eAnthologies (multiple authors)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-DRA\"\u003eDrama\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-DRA001000\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Ives is an American playwright, screenwriter, and novelist.
