 Homeward Bound
Elliott Hayes
Despite persuasive arguments, Bonnie can't decide which is worse
-- murder or suicide. Her daughter is pregnant, but who is the
father? Her son-in-law has kidnapped the children, or has he? Her son's
lover arrives to set things straight, if he can, and her husband is considering
his own euthanasia. This is a play that pulls the term
"comedy of manners" inside out. M-4, F-2. 114 pp. $15.95.
 Blacks Don't Bowl
Vadney S. Haynes
What do you do when your vision of the world and yourself is shaken to the core? When two Black Montreal artists create a show from images of pimps, thugs and dancehall queens, community leader Frank Simmons is outraged and tries to censor the demeaning images. What else is a man who is highly opinionated -especially about being Black and the Black experience - to do? What Frank does not count on is art's ability to transform as he is forced to confront himself in a way that is both disturbing and revealing. Little will be the same afterwards for Frank, the artists, and perhaps Black people everywhere. Softcover,64 pp. $14.95.
 The Innocent Eye Test

A grand Tuscan hotel. A gathering-place for people from across the globe. Two

innocent Samuel Kneck to sort it out. An old-fashioned farce about contemporary
anxieties, from the author of the award-winning The Drawer Boy.
