{"product_id":"tales-of-the-lost-formicans-9780881450910","title":"Tales Of The Lost Formicans","description":"This witty and passionate play explores the story of a man with Alzheimer's and at the same time turns into \"a travel guide to Middle America conducted by aliens from outer space.\" The play has a wonderful comic sensibility, but this is a chillingly painful play addressing postmodern society's collective nervous breakdown. \"If not the best new play of recent years, surely this is the most imaginative. Constance Congdon's brilliant Off-Broadway script wryly deflects the story of a man with Alzheimer's disease into a travel guide to Middle America conducted by aliens.\" -William Henry III, Time \"Constance Congdon's TALES OF THE LOST FORMICANS is a treat in so many ways - starting with its deliciously wry title ... you shouldn't miss it: Congdon is a new voice, and her innumerable small triumphs are achieved with a freshness of spirit, with a humor and charm so distinctively individual, that one just wants to hear more and more from her ... Congdon's aliens are a fluidly shifting metaphor for her own complex relation to the subject of her drama, a lower-middle suburban family coping with three generations' worth of stress simultaneously ...\" -Michael Feingold, Village Voice \"... a savagely uncompromising play of searching insights, biting wit and all too recognizable home truths ... There are laughs, wit and humor, but this is a chillingly painful play. Congdon is a terrific playwright with sure command of language and her subject ...\" -Polly Warfield, Drama-Logue \"Congdon's writing creates dialogue that crackles with wit, imagination and incisive passion ...\" -A J Esta, Drama-Logue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-68543\"\u003eConstance Congdon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadway Play Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881450910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 088145091X\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-DRA001000\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Play Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45914210468015,"sku":"9780881450910","price":17.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/img_8995ae85-221a-4fce-a6f7-45258471da71.jpg?v=1758821622","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/products\/tales-of-the-lost-formicans-9780881450910","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
