Arcadia

A Play

Tom Stoppard Faber and Faber, Inc.

Arcadia is a brilliantly inventive play that moves back and forth between centuries, populated by a varied and vastly entertaining cast of characters who discuss such topics as the nature of truth and time, the difference between the classical and the romantic temperament, and the disruptive influence of sex on our orbits in life—according to the author, "the attraction which Newton left out."

Actors at Work

Rosemarie Tichler and Barry Jay Kaplan; Foreword by Mike Nichols Faber and Faber, Inc.

"Because of their provocative, empathetic, and insightful interview techniques, co-authors Rosemarie Tichler and Barry Jay Kaplan manage to reveal both the working methods as well as the deeply personal perspectives of fourteen of America’s most gifted actors. In the book's depth of purpose as well as in its sheer entertainment value as a great reading experience, Actors at Work sets a standard that subsequent actor-interview books will be hard-pressed to match."—Ron Van Lieu, Lloyd Richards Chair of Acting, Yale School of Drama

The Haitian Trilogy

Plays: Henri Christophe, Drums and Colours, and The Haytian Earth

Derek Walcott Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks

“The Nobel poet laureate attempts to recreate West Indian history on a canvas as large and mythic as Shakespeare’s War of the Roses. It’s a heroic, monumental undertaking—and not surprisingly, St. Lucia-born Walcott summons the ghost of Shakespeare in his epigraphs, echoes and metaphors. Walcott’s lines weave in and out of blank verse as easily as an old man walks in and out of memory.”—Cynthia Haven, San Francisco Chronicle

I Am My Own Wife

A Play

Doug Wright; With an Introduction by the Author Faber and Faber, Inc.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize

"I Am My Own Wife is the most stirring new work to appear on Broadway this fall [2003]. With nothing to recommend it but a story that is both moving and intellectually absorbing, a staging that is both careful and lovely and a performance that is a true tour de force, we should all hope that theatergoers prove that it belongs there . . . Fascinating and beautifully written."—Bruce Weber, The New York Times
