Sex Plays - Paperback

by Eric Bogosian (Author)

"Bogosian is greatly and bilaterally talented... spiky, stinging and caustic, without cauterizing. And funny." - New York

"Bogosian is a born storyteller with perfect pitch." - New York Times

Sex Plays includes Skunkweed, a culture clash between an L.A. screenwriter and a working-class woman held captive in a hotel room by her rural Florida family, and 1+1, an exploration of desire, greed and personal responsibility through the lives of a good-looking hustler, an ambitious pretty girl, and a "good guy," who always seems to finish last."

One of America's premier performers and most innovative and provocative artists, Eric Bogosian's plays and solo shows include Talk Radio (Pulitzer Prize finalist); subUrbia; Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll; Pounding Nails in the Floor with My Forehead, among many others. He has starred in a wide variety of film, TV and stage roles. Most recently, he created the character Captain Danny Ross on the long-running series Law & Order: Criminal Intent. 100, a collection of monologues, commemorating thirty years of Bogosian's solo-performance career, will be published by TCG in 2014.
