Caridad Svich: Outlaw Plays

Outlaw Plays by Us playwright Caridad Svich focus on characters living outside boundaries imagined and real. The two plays in this volume- Kill To Eat (a patriot song) and Pensacola - are driven by a punk energy in their use of language and the staging of action. Poetic, raw and strange, they traffic and play with genre tropes from pulp fiction, "noir" cinema, and steam-punk literature and are influenced by murder ballads and electric blues.
