Six Degrees of Separation 

Herb Gardner

From the award winning author of I'm Not Rappaport and A Thousand Clowns comes a powerful and funny play about three generations of a Jewish family on the Lower East Side. Incorporating autobiographical elements, Eddie Goldberg's story dramatizes what it's like to melt as well as simmer in American society while it encompasses the universals of relations between fathers and sons.

"Bah humbug" best describes Christmas this year at the Gorskis'. Phil's diatribes against the loss of traditional values and the mysterious and menacing "them out there." Their older son Andy is on his way home, dreading the introduction of his parents--staunch Catholics--to his fiancée Randi, a confirmed atheist. The only person honestly looking forward to the holiday is Mickey, Andy's younger brother, who's never outgrown a childlike delight in the season. Micky is retarded."--Publisher's description."

Sight Unseen

Characteristic of Gurney's inimitable style of intertwining the present with the past, this lovely play (set primarily in the elegant ballroom of the old George Washington Hotel and performed to recorded music) poses a most poignant question: Is recapturing the qualities of grace, beauty, and cibility too painful for today's society; when charm and elegance no longer seem desirable or important? For one fleeting winter's night, Cooper Jones reunites a group of old...

Written in eight opium-sodden days, Jean Cocteau's Les Parents Terribles is a frank, ironic, bruisingly melodramatic play dealing with incest and the diseased love from which it stems. The play was first performed at the Théâtre des Ambassadeurs, Paris, in November 1938. Its run was soon terminated amid accusations of immorality, and the production was transferred to the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens in January 1939, where it continued until the outbreak of World War II. This English version by Jeremy Sams was first performed at the National Theatre, London, in 1994, directed by Sean Mathias. This edition of the play includes an introduction by Simon Callow.

A Novel

A mysterious jewel holds the key to a life-changing secret, in this breathtaking tale of love and art, betrayal and redemption. When she decides to auction her remarkable jewelry collection, Nina Revskaya, once a great star of the Bolshoi Ballet, believes she has finally drawn a curtain on her past. Instead, the former ballerina finds herself overwhelmed by memories of her homeland and of the events, both glorious and heartbreaking, that changed the course of her life half a century ago. It was in Russia that she discovered the magic of the theater; that she fell in love with the poet Viktor Elsin; that she and her dearest companions—Gersh, a brilliant composer, and the exquisite Vera, Nina’s closest friend—became victims of Stalinist aggression. And it was in Russia that a terrible discovery incited a deadly act of betrayal—and an ingenious escape that led Nina to the West and eventually to Boston. Nina has kept her secrets for half a lifetime. But two people will not let the past rest: Drew Brooks, an inquisitive young associate at a Boston auction house, and Grigori Solodin, a professor of Russian who believes that a unique set of jewels may hold the key to his own ambiguous past. Together these unlikely partners begin to unravel a mystery surrounding a love letter, a poem, and a necklace of unknown provenance, setting in motion a series of revelations that will have life-altering consequences for them all. Interweaving past and present, Moscow and New England, the backstage tumult of the dance world and the transformative power of art, Daphne Kalotay’s luminous first novel—a literary page-turner of the highest order—captures the uncertainty and terror of individuals powerless to withstand the forces of history, while affirming that even in times of great strife, the human spirit reaches for beauty and grace, forgiveness and transcendence.
