 Still Laughing: Three Adaptations by Morris Panych
Morris Panych
The universal mark of good satire is still to make audiences laugh at the worst traits in human nature. Here, in his own words, is how Morris Panych updated these three great comedy classics from a century ago: The Government Inspector, Hotel Peccadillo, and The Amorous Adventures of Anatol. Softcover, 319 pp. $29.95.
 The 39 Steps
Patrick Barlow
The 39 Steps, adapted from novel by John Buchan (adapted from the Alfred Hitchcock film), is Broadway's longest running comedy! A spy story told with the zaniness of Monty Python, The 39 Steps is packed with non-stop laughs, over 150 characters (to be played by a cast of 4!), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and, of course, some good old-fashioned romance. Softcover, 110 pp. $12.99.
 Our Class
Tadeusz Slobodzianek
Following a class of Polish schoolchildren, Jewish and Catholic, from 1925 through the 80s, Our Class is a fierce confrontation of Poland's involvement in the attrocities of the last century. Beautiful, haunting and terrifying, this play is a masterpiece of social commentary and the human experience. Softcover, 108 pp. $21.95.
