About the Author:

Lynne Alvarez, winner of numerous awards including the Kesselring Award in 1983. She arrived in New York planning to be a hot shot poet. She is the author of two books of poetry and her plays have been widely published and anthologized.

From Library Journal:

In this third annual volume, four of the seven plays have a lighter tone and more humor than those in last year's collection, but the two most dramatic are centered on the sex industry and murder. The playwrights are not as ethnically diverse as last year's group, and, once again, there is no criteria given for the selection and inclusion of these works. (The publisher's note says that submissions are made by playwrights, agents, literary managers, and theaters.) Still, the playwrights who were selected?Joan Ackermann, Lynne Alvarez, Marlane Meyer, Theresa Rebeck, Jacquelyn Reingold, Paula Vogel, and Allison Eve Zell?present fresh, intriguing selections in a variety of voices. Recommended for contemporary drama collections.?J. Sara Paulk, Satilla Regional Lib., Douglas, Ga.
