Play :: A controversial evening of seven short new plays about love and sex. In Bogosian's Bitter Sauce, a woman's voracious sexual appetite lands her fiancé, the mild-mannered Herman, in trouble with the Hell's Angels as he strives to save his marriage - and his skin. Shange's Hydraulics Phat Like Mean deploys the sensuality and seductive power of music and dance. Kushner's farce, Terminating, collapses order and certainty as a therapist and her patient both rage against the mundanity of life. Marsha Norman's 140 is a sharp and bitter portrayal of infidelity - as one betrayal is revealed, another is uncovered. Finn's Painting You is a portrait of a painter whose emotional failures have stifled his creativity. In Waiting for Philip Glass, Wasserstein's comedy of manners in the Hampshires shows that the greatest crime is - being seen at the wrong party...And in The General of Hot Desire, Guare makes fun of the acting process itself, as a fictional group of actors transform a simple sonnet about love into an epic of biblical proportions.
