Birth and After Birth and Other Plays - Paperback

by Tina Howe (Author)

"[Birth and After Birth is] as appalling as it is perceptive...one of the more primal works by this woman who describes herself as a 'well-mannered anarchist.'"-Newsday

A revised edition of Howe's early farce Birth and After Birth, about overweening parents and their four-year-old child. Also included are Approaching Zanzibar, a comedy about mortality, and the "rich, gorgeous and compelling" (New York Post) domestic drama One Shoe Off.
