Synopsis

This is the first publication on the plays of New York–based experimental theater director and playwright Richard Maxwell (born 1967) and his company New York City Players. His plays have been commissioned by The Wexner Center, Columbus; The Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Performance Space 122, The Kitchen and Soho Rep in New York; and The Barbican Centre, London. The book captures the experience of actually watching the plays by way of screen-grabs and captions, and in doing so documents nearly 20 years of work.

“The writer and director Richard Maxwell is a stylist of the first order ... When I read or think about a Maxwell text, I don’t so much recall any other writer. Rather, I think about visual artists and colors....” ―Hilton Als, The New Yorker
