Tannahill J: Draw Me Close

Draw Me Close

Methuen Drama Play Collections

Discover the work of 2023 Pulitzer Prize finalist Lloyd Suh, whose work contests the pastness of the past, revealing the unexpected ways that history reverberates across the present to shape the future.

Through his plays, Lloyd Suh has been documenting 150 years of Asian and Asian American experiences, exploring forgotten and ignored pivotal moments in Asian American history. His plays draw on a variety of forms and aesthetics to re-tell, re-discover, and re-invent the past. Unique in scope and perspective, these history plays offer a powerful metaphor for the ingenuity and endurance of Asian American communities.
 
Alongside these five plays - The Chinese Lady, The Far Country, Bina's Six Apples, Charles Francis Chan Jr.'s Exotic Oriental Murder Mystery, and The Heart Sellers - this edition is rich with additional resources. Not only is each play accompanied by a preface by a theatre scholar and a postscript by a creative collaborator, but the collection opens with an introduction by editor Christine Mok and closes with a conversation with playwright himself.

Taken together, the plays, along with their context, criticism, and collaborative insight, offer an expansive view of Suh's vision in an inaugural collection to inspire theatre makers, actors, and students alike.

The Walrus Has a Right to Adventure

Discover the complex histories and experiences of the Palestinian people through the work of Ismail Khalidi. With compelling characters, engaging storytelling, quick-witted humor, and unwavering political commitment, Khalidi has entertained and informed audiences in America and around the globe, providing diverse perspectives on the Palestinian experience from the British Mandate era to the challenges faced under occupation today. This new collection spans Khalidi's career, featuring both his early monodramas and never-before-published new plays. An essential intervention in academic and artistic discourses that often overlook or marginalize Palestinian and Arab voices, Khalidi's work proves him to be an influential figure on an international scale, bridging the Americas and the Middle East. Until I Return: The Selected Plays of Ismail Khalidi further contextualizes his work with an essay by Professor Edward Ziter (NYU Tisch, USA), an enlightening interview with the playwright conducted by the editors, and an annotated timeline of Khalidi's life, giving comprehensive insight into both the playwright and his impact.

Until I Return: The Selected Plays of Ismail Khalidi

This collection brings Crothers's best plays back into the public eye, outside of archives, to prove their continued relevance to life in the 21st century. The issues raised in plays such as Susan and God (1937), Mary the Third (1923), and A Man's World (1910) concern career versus motherhood/parenthood, marriage, the double standard, generational divisions providing representations that audiences today understand and appreciate. Rachel Crothers was considered in her own time to be "the most famous woman playwright in America" (Charles E. Barnum, Sunday Morning Star). At her peak, 26 of her plays graced Broadway and touring stages, on par with Eugene O'Neill's record, and Hollywood adapted more than half of those for the silver screen, making her one of the most prominent playwrights of the early 20th century. Forgotten Broadway is the first edited collection of plays by Crothers, demonstrating her impressive accomplishments as a writer-director during one of the most important periods of Broadway history. Known by her contemporaries as an "all-around woman of the theatre" due to her double duty as a writer and practitioner, despite all her successes, her plays have fallen out of print and are rarely produced in any theatrical setting.

Forgotten Broadway: The Selected Plays of Rachel Crothers

"There is great imagination and intrigue here, and it is eminently entertaining." - The GuardianBackdropped by the bleak English moors, two sisters (and their dog) live a dreary existence, as they dream of forbidden love and power. So, when a hapless governess and a moor-hen arrive at their manor house, the two see a chance to claim what they've always wanted... no matter how destructive. A loving pastiche of the gothic genre, Jen Silverman echoes and channels the Brontë sisters in this irreverent celebration, that is equal parts brutal, lusty, and deranged. A macabre, queer thriller, The Moors is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Christine Scarfuto.

The Moors

This anthology documents a decade of some of the UK's most exciting queer performances, through a combination of retrospective scripts, development material and visual documentation.

 Queer performances are expected to live a brief, bright life without leaving any textual record. Indeed, they rarely begin with complete scripts at all, being often developed instead by performance practices designed to fill noisy bars, clinking cabaret venues and fringe theatres, typically for short runs. This lack of textual documentation underplays the importance of writing to contemporary queer performances, while rendering them vulnerable to disappearance in the diaphanous archives of memory.
 
Writing Queer Performance: Contemporary Texts and Documents features eight seminal works, captured though performance texts and visual documentation, that ensures their accessibility long after the event of live performance. Supported by a contextualizing introduction, the anthology provides a panoramic view of contemporary preoccupations, processes and practices. 

The works include:
 Black (2013), Le Gateau Chocolat
Pull the Trigger (2016), Vijay Patel
Re-Member Me (2017), Dickie Beau
DollyWould (2017), Sh!t Theatre
NIGHTCLUBBING (2018), Ray Young
Pleasure Seekers (2022), Bourgeois &amp; Maurice
The Making of Pinocchio (2022), Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill
Ten Commandments (2022), David Hoyle
