Wilderness Faces  Griselda Steiner
Dedicated to the World Trade Center Victims

The Valley of the Shadow  Miles David Moore
Know that he murdered thirteen people in my town in the four years before this one--including a family of five in one fell swoop. The Killer's an expert housebreaker--I can vouch for that--and nobody's really sure what he looks like.

Conversations Seldom Overheard (Whistleblower)  Arthur Meiselman 
I'll go to the Director. He's my friend. He was my mentor."
"What? Who do you think is hunting you?

THEATRE
THOUGHTS

New!

Benedictine Theatre
I am trying to find a place where Jeremiah and Buddha can converse.

"Human nature" is an ideological argument, not a biological one.

The Fallen Ice Cream Cone
This is a definition of real theatre.

Old Lady on the Ten-Speed
This is another definition of real theatre.

In This Issue

Inferno
A Libretto

As the title clearly indicates, this is a work suggested by the central elements of the first part of Dante's famous poem. The 'Night-town' setting (so familiar to us since Joyce) is to my mind the most apt contemporary equivalent of hell that we possess.

Martin Burke

The Exile
A 'real-life' story of Africa.

"After that night I was somehow a different person. Knowing that I was conducting a jail break, and it had to be done without leaving any traces."
