Dan O'Brien: Plays One Summary

Dan O'Brien: Plays One by Dan O'Brien

The first collection from the multi-award-winning American poet and playwright Dan O'Brien, including the award-winning The Body of an American. The Body of an American (2M) Two actors embody more than thirty roles in an exhilarating new form of documentary theatre, against a backdrop of some of the world's most iconic images of war. The House in Hydesville (5F/2M) At once an exploration of familial abuse and the need for spiritual transcendence, a compelling true ghost story. The Cherry Sisters Revisited (5F/1M) The five Cherry sisters' love of the vaudeville carries them to the bright lights of Broadway. A provocative comedy with music. The Voyage of the Carcass (1F/2M) Trapped in the ice at the North Pole, only three members of the doomed Carcass crew survive. The Dear Boy (1F/3M) James Flanagan is not a kind teacher. Is he a good teacher? He likes to think so. An intimate and stirring character study of a man forced to face his past, his present, and the life he may still yet live.

Dan O'Brien: Plays One Reviews

Dan OBrien is a playwright-poet who, like a mash-up of Seamus Heaney and Dashiel Hammett, puts the audience in the middle of an unfolding mystery promising both revelation and terror, and delivering an equal measure of both. -- Robert Schenkkan
I run to Dan OBrien plays. With absolute honesty and a poets language, play by play, Dan is laying bare the human heartoften his owntrying to understand the hearts homelessness. With relentless courage, wonderful black humor and intricate narrative, Dan gets us where we most desire to gointimacy. Dans life is proving to be our roadmap home. -- Bill Cain
The Body of an American is a marvel in elegant construction. A story full of unexpected twists and turns, it captures the nightmare of war and our attempts to comprehend it via a mass media designed to both condemn and celebrate violence. Dan OBrien has written a brilliant gem of a play. -- Eric Bogosian
