Humana Festival 2002: The Complete Plays Book

The Actors Theatre of Louisville- one of the mainstays in the play-anthology field, having published 10 editions of its complete-play collections, plus volumes of its popular 10-minute-play series- has culled together Humana Festival 2002: The Complete Plays, edited by Tanya Palmer and Amy Wegener (Smith & Kraus, 19.95 paper). This edition stands out for its fearless attempt to codify SITI Company's Leonard Bernstein pastiche, Score, and three technology-driven pieces by John Belluso, Sarah Ruhl and Alice Tuan that rely heavily on the live presence of actors and virtual-reality doodads, rather than just dialogue and stage directions.
