Synopsis

Martin Crimp, among the most successful British playwrights and translators of his generation, demonstrates a powerful modern sensibility and control of language that The Sunday Times calls "harsh, elegant and sardonic . . . as if Evelyn Waugh and Bret Easton Ellis had collaborated on a horrifying morality play." These qualities are apparent in this volume, which includes Dealing with Clair, in which a routine real-estate deal results in a mysterious assault on the agent, and The Treatment, which focuses on the fantasies-sexual and otherwise-among the young and not so young in New York's Tribeca.
