A double volume containing two works of astonishing invention that blend theater with art and artifact. In these two works, Hancock explores the liminal spaces between language and silence, fiction and truth, and the known and the unknown.

Master / The Convention of Cartography

Illuminations

A bracing poetic reflection on the deadly power of the white imagination from acclaimed writer Cornelius Eady.This spare and haunting play takes its inspiration from the case of Susan Smith, a white woman who murdered her two young children by strapping them into the back seat of her car and pushing it into a lake. In statements to the police, Smith claimed she had been carjacked by a young Black man. In&nbsp;Brutal Imagination, adapted from his National Book Award-finalist poetry cycle, Eady conjures this imaginary Black man as Mr. Zero, who appears in order to “to get things done” when white people need a scapegoat for the consequences of their own actions. As Smith spins her story into more and more elaborate designs, Mr. Zero begins to rebel against his appointed task, leading Smith, and us, slowly closer to the dark secret at the center of the play.&nbsp;Brutal Imagination&nbsp;implicates not just the small town of Union, South Carolina, but an entire American racial imaginary in which a white woman’s story, no matter how ludicrous, is always believed if it implicates a Black man.

A play adapted from the poem cycle

Brutal Imagination

Two whip-smart satirical plays by the Pulitzer-winning author of&nbsp;Fat Ham&nbsp;that examine the racism at the root of America’s founding—and its fruits in our present.In&nbsp;The Most Spectacularly Lamentable Trial of Miz Martha Washington, the widow of George Washington and self-proclaimed “Mother of America” lies helpless in her bed, ravaged by illness and cared for by the very slaves that will be free the moment she dies. In the terrifying and fantastical fever dream that follows, Martha is called to account for her lifelong dependence on the labor of enslaved people. A wildly theatrical, gleefully anachronistic play that puts Martha Washington’s life and legacy on trial.In a present-day reimagining of the story of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson,&nbsp;TJ Loves Sally 4 Ever&nbsp;takes place at Commonwealth of Virginia University, where a modern education is rooted in the nation’s “complicated” history. As the campus wrestles with its antebellum legacy, undergraduate student Sally finds herself locked in a more personal battle with Dean TJ, the white dean of students named after Thomas Jefferson, who shares his namesake’s predilection for grossly abusing his position of power over women of color. Amidst a swirl of marching bands, step teams, and bubbly tour guides, Sally must struggle to rewrite this too-familiar narrative, dismantle the wall of oppression, and embrace the dope ass future that waits beyond it.

Modern Plays

4.48 Psychosis

As the stakes get higher in Patrick Marber's critically-acclaimed debut play about compulsive gambling and addiction, the game turns savage... now no one's safe when everything's on the line.

Dealer's Choice

An anthology of six new plays written in Arabic, published here in English translation. Including five plays selected from over 500 submissions to Masrah Ensemble’s 2021 Open Call and one by Masrah Ensemble’s former playwright-in-residence, these six texts—by Yasser Abu Shaqra, Arzé Khodr, Rim Mejdi, Wael Qaddur, Nasr Sami, and Leila Tubal—represent a diverse array of voices and styles, and push at the limits of theatrical form and public discourse. The volume features an introduction by theater writer/director/academic Hanan Qassab Hassan along with short introductions to the plays by US-based playwrights Lucas Baisch, Jess Barbagallo, Agnes Borinsky, Nazareth Hassan, Kristen Kosmas, and Haruna Lee.Ruby&nbsp;by Leila Tubal (Tunisia)Translated by Hisham Ben Khamsa, with an introduction by Haruna LeeA rhythmic monologue, lyrical and dark, in which a woman unpacks a life of misogyny and violence as she prepares to meet her daughter for the first time.Braveheart&nbsp;by Wael Qaddur (Syria)Translated by Clem Naylor, with an introduction by Lucas BaischA play about a group of friends writing a novel together, in which relationships collapse and get rebuilt through the act of writing. How do you move out of a state of war into a time of presumed stability?Eternity&nbsp;by Rim Mejdi (Morocco)Translated by Melanie Magidow and Caline Nasrallah, with an introduction by Kristen KosmasA young woman is stuck on a train, and just wants to get off. An allegorical knot of a play that moves between liveness and video, vernacular and formal Arabic, with interludes from Rimbaud's French.Sometimes We Remember&nbsp;by Arzé Khodr (Lebanon)Translated by Clem Naylor, with an introduction by Nazareth HassanA Fornesian diamond of a play that unfolds in a series of seemingly simple domestic and urban scenes, about the lure of dwelling in memories of war.Dog and Cat Pizza Chapters&nbsp;by Nasr Sami (Tunisia)Translated by Sam Kimball, with an introduction by Jess BarbagalloA dizzying trip into a world of violence and distortion, by way of the Biblical Song of Songs. In which cats are nailed to walls, and two lovers seek to become one.Unsettled&nbsp;by Yasser Abu Shaqra (Palestine/Syria)Translated by Zeina Halabi, with an introduction by Agnes BorinskyA Syrian family arrives as refugees in Europe, where life does not resemble what they imagined. Over the course of the play, each member of the family finds themselves backed deeper and deeper into a corner, and “safety” proves a devil’s bargain.
