Four riotous plays in one volume from a winner of an Outer Critics Circle Award: “A comic playwright of the first rank.”—New York Daily News Renowned for his wicked camp humor and biting social satire, playwright and drag legend Charles Busch has delighted audiences both on and off Broadway. This book contains four of his works, among them Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, one of the longest-running plays in Off-Broadway history, of which the New York Times said “the female roles [Busch] creates are hilarious vamps, but also high comic characters...the audience laughs at the first line and goes right on laughing at every line to the end.” Also included is the Tony-nominated Broadway hit The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife—a comedy about a self-absorbed Upper West Side woman whose life is devoted to mornings at the Whitney, afternoons at the Museum of Modern Art, and evenings at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, until her world is transformed by a visit from a childhood friend; The Lady in Question, a tribute to 1940s Hollywood that is both funny and suspenseful; and Psycho Beach Party, a cross between Gidget and Spellbound.

"Howard Katz" is a new play by Marber, who has been called "the greatest British playwright to have emerged in the 1990s." ("The Financial Times") Following on the success of "Closer, " this haunting play is centered on its title character, a hard-as-nails talent agent now down on his luck.

Comedy / Characters: 4m, 2f / Unit set A faded screenwriter in the 1940's woos her troubled ex-writer son into collaborating on a screen play. The gangster/sci fi B-movie in their imagination unfolds before us, involving a chic crime czarina, a beautiful but icy lady scientist and her failed and understandly bitter human cloning experiment. A third story is the Russian fairy tale the screenwriter told her son as a child about a painfully shy princess who forges a diabolical pact with a terrifying but surprisingly vulnerable old witch. The fairy tale inspires the movie which inspires the mother and son screenwriters to mend their fractured relationship. "Plays-within-plays require such intricate tailoring. So it's a pleasure to report that with The Third Story, the ever-captivating Charles Busch proves equally deft as both performer and seamstress." -Theatermania. "The main joy of The Third Story is that its foolery embodies something substantive...No wonder The Third Story feels like such an energizing event." -Village Voice.
