Rarities & Wonders

In the imaginative works included in his book, Rarities & Wonders: Plays, Phillip Howze weaves together an array of disclosures, marvels, and meanderings to reveal the "intelligent, unruly" (New York Times) voice of a formidable new writer. Collected together here, and for the first-time, Rarities & Wonders is a singular assembly of "sharp and incisive" (Talkin' Broadway) contemporary American plays.
Phillip Howze is an American writer and theater maker whose plays include Self Portraits (BRIC-Arts Media) and Frontieres Sans Frontieres (Bushwick Starr). He's currently commissioned to write new works for the American Repertory Theater, Manhattan Theatre Club/Sloan, and Lincoln Center Theater/LCT3 where he's also a Resident Writer. He was recently appointed the inaugural Associate Senior Lecturer in Playwriting at Harvard University's Theater, Dance & Media program.
¿This book is a part of the Sledgehammer Series with Three Plays by Christina Anderson, Doodles from the Margins: Three Plays by Hansol Jung, and Recent Alien Abductions by Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas. The Sledgehammer Series lives within Tripwire's mission, with a specific focus on challenging how theater can live visually on the page.
