Dirty Story and Other Plays
John Patrick Shanley

Theatre Communications Group, 2006

Shanley in Top Form!
Three excellent plays by the best American playwright of this era (imho). Dirty Story, a parable about the Isreali/Palestinian crisis, Where's My Money, a comedy about the relationships of a few people, and Sailor's Song, which is about a guy who is staying in a small ...
  
  











  



  
13 by Shanley: Thirteen Plays (Applause American Masters Series)
John Patrick Shanley

Applause Books, 2000

Shanley's stagewriting is as incredible as his screenwriting
I found the plays in "13 by Shanley" to be as outrageous, quirky, beautiful, and redeeming as his screenwork. Shanley has the uncanny ability to make you read him twice, because one reading doesn't quite settle with you. I found myself reading a play in this ...
  
  











  



  
Savage in Limbo.
John Patrick Shanley

Dramatist's Play Service, 1998

savagely good
I recently filmed a performance of one scene from the play "Savage in Limbo" in Los Angeles and I had to jump on the web and buy the whole play immediately. John Patrick Shanley's characters are brilliant and rich; the kind actors dream of working with. The play is ...
  
  











  



  
Psychopathia Sexualis
John Patrick Shanley

Dramatists Play Service, 1998

Why not have a fetish
John Patrick Shanley's play psychopathia sexualis is a salty comedy about a painter who is about to get married, but has a problem. He is not the master of his own domain. Arthur, the painter, can only get off while in close proximity to his father's argyle socks. ...
  
  











  



  
The Dreamer Examines His Pillow.
John Patrick Shanley

Dramatists Play Service, 1998

Passion, Betrayal, Redemption-it will move you!
This is truly one of Shanley's greatest works. The play is rich with poetic language and intense characters who live life the way we wish we had the guts to. A quick,easy read and an even better performance, this play is sure to move you, touch you, and make you ...
  
  











  



  
Defiance
John Patrick Shanley

Theatre Communications Group, 2007

"Defiance is a necessary step in the life of an individual and in the life of a nation."-John Patrick Shanley "As thoughtful and probing as its predecessor, Defiance [is] filled with the provocative questions and bristling dialogue for which Mr. Shanley is known . . . as it wonders about its big, knotty subjects."-Ben Brantley, The New ...
  
  











  



  
Women of Manhattan.
John Patrick Shanley

Dramatist's Play Service, 1998

Another Great by John Shanley
This has to be rated up there with "Kissing Christine" and "Moonstruck." I absolutely adore this play. Even though it's categorized comedy, it contains many dramatic and true-to-life issues. The characters are lovable, fun, and incredibly entertaining. It is ...
  
  











  



  
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea: An Apache Dance
John Patrick Shanley

Dramatist's Play Service, 1984

Danny and the Deep Blue Sea
In this time of politically correct language and the sexes being afraid to speak for fear of being accused of sexual harrassment, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea is crudely refreshing, if not humbling. Danny and Roberta are the kinds of people that the BMW and Lexus set ...
  
  











  



  
Where's My Money?
John Patrick Shanley

Dramatist's Play Service, 2003
  
  











  



  
Doubt: A Parable
John Patrick Shanley

Dramatist's Play Service, 2007

"What do you do when you're not sure?"
I saw "Doubt" this weekend down in the Twin Cities. While you are more likely to see a national touring company of a Tony Award winning musical, such as "The Light in the Piazza" (which we will see in a couple of weeks), Tony Award winning dramas do make it out to the ...

Moonstruck, Joe Versus the Volcano, and Five Corners : Screenplays
John Patrick Shanley

Grove Press, 1996

SHANLEY BRINGS US OVER THE MOON!
Alright, let's face it: John Patrick Shanley is a genius. How else can you explain a reader's overwhelming mirth brought on by the simple turn of each page from his fine Oscar-winning screenplay "Moonstruck" nearly 14 years after the movie's release? Who could ever ...
  
  











  



  
Italian American Reconciliation.
John Patrick Shanley

Dramatist's Play Service, 1998

A touching play
Shanley nailed this play, a tale about a forlorn man who misses his bad-influence wife and so leaves his girlfriend to make a play to get her back. His best friend is stuck in the middle. A dark comedy of sorts, but mostly a lesson in getting over lost love. A must for ...
  
  











  



  
Welcome to the Moon and Other Plays.
John Patrick Shanley

Dramatist's Play Service, 1998

John Patrick Shanley - A Creative Humorist
"Welcome to the Moon and Other Plays" presents the reader, viewer, and actor with a number of plays based in different eras and located in different settings, yet all of the plays share a common trait; they all reveal the state of the human condition while lightly ...
