Partial Objects - Paperback

by Sherry Kramer (Author)

The Faust story is one of our eternal myths - a story about striving, about always wanting more, about the struggle to know more, feel more, be more like God. PARTIAL OBJECTS is an adaptation of the myth with two Fausts - a man and a women. When the devil offers them a moment of perfect love, they eagerly agree to give their souls for it. But perfect love is harder to come by then they'd bargained for. A fairy tale about what happens in the night. The critics on Sherry Kramer's plays: DAVID'S REDHAIRED DEATH: "Sherry Kramer's extraordinary play ... is like a puzzle: after slowly and painstakingly connecting a series of dots, one uncovers an integrated image out of what appeared to be chaos." -The Chicago Reader THINGS THAT BREAK: "... a terribly difficult, painfully beautiful play ... This is a wildly imaginative piece of work." -Nelson Pressley, The Washington Times THE WALL OF WATER: "THE WALL OF WATER quickly bursts through the dam of conventional theater for two hours of the kind of inspired and breathtaking chaos so rare on America's stages that we may have forgotten the word for it. The word is farce." - Margaret Spillane, New Haven Independent WHAT A MAN WEIGHS: "... its view of sexual politics becomes more and more complex, funny, and biting." -Time WHEN SOMETHING WONDERFUL ENDS: "As timely as it is revealing, and as witty as wise." -Austin Chronicle
