Notes
Description
"Balm in Gilead" is a drama set in a New York city "greasy spoon" cafe frequented by dealers, junkies, hustlers, prostitutes, the cafe staff, and Darlene, a naive young woman new to the city. First performed off-off-Broadway in 1965, it was a critical and commercial success, and has been revived several times, most recently in 2010-11."Ludlow Fair" is a story of two young women who share an apartment together: Rachel is glamorous and fast-moving, while Agnes is matter-of-fact, using kookiness to mask her shyness. In the end, it is Agnes who comforts Rachel, when her romance starts to fall apart."Home Free!" is a two-character one-act play about Lawrence and Johanna, who may be brother and sister, and may also be in an incestuous relationship. Despite playful conversations, Lawrence seems to be mentally unstable, and at a loss when Johanna begs for a doctor and then collapses.
