Description

  • Like Hamilton, Angels in America, and The Vagina Monoloques, a powerful, poliltically charged drama that speaks directly to the present moment—the dawn of the Trump era and the implications of his anti-immigration rhetoric turned into policy.
  • Publication is part of a nationwide event, with the play going into production instantly and opening in a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere in five theaters across the country:
    Fountain Theatre in LA (3/18/17)
    Curious Theater in Denver (4/4/17)
    Forum Theater in Washington, DC, 4/27–5/7, moving to its Silver Springs, MD, stage 5/18
    Borderlands Theater in Tucson (February 2018)
    City Theatre in Miami (9/27-10/8/17)
    Other theaters that aren't part of the NNPN will also stage the play, including:
    Adobe Rose Theater in Santa Fe (date TK)
    New World Stages in New York City (previews starting 5/12/17; opening 5/21/17)
    The play and its nationwide rolling premiere have garnered a NY Times article and it will receive much more publicity after each opening: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/05/theater/trump-wall-mexico-play.html?_r=0
  • Robert Schenkkan is the real deal: winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony Award for Best Play, he is the author of All the Way, which was made into the movie starring Bryan Cranston, and co-screenwriterof Hacksaw Ridge; he is extremely well-connected culturally and in the media and has a practiced stage presence.
  • Dystopian fiction is immensely popular now, and the dystopian premise of this play addresses the national mood.
  • Includes essays from three noted historians on: the real purpose of the border wall, our dark history of restictionism in immigration, and the tradition of political protest in the arts for the last century.

    The shipping was just superior

    The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

    Found a hard to get book…

    Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
