Produktbeschreibung

Hansol Jung, 2018 Whiting Award-winner Wolf Play

Martyna Majok, 2018 Pulitzer Prize-winner Sanctuary City

Mona Mansour, 2020 Kesselring Prize-winner The Hour of Feeling

Charlie Oh Coleman '72, 2021 Paul Stephen Lim Award-winner

Mfoniso Udofia, 2021 Horton Foote Award-winner Sojourners

Jesús I. Valles, 2023 Yale Drama Series Prize-winner a river, its mouths

This groundbreaking collection of works by first- and second-generation immigrants unites seven exhilarating new voices of Lebanese, Nigerian, Korean, Bengali, Polish, and Mexican descent. Echoing beyond the stage, their stories draw on common experiences of displacement, alienation, and the sense of living in suspension; sometimes torn between two worlds, sometimes plummeting into the spaces between them. Amid tangled relationships, vengeful landscapes, and buried family mysteries, something universal flickers; the search for safety and the promise of home. Both haunting and galvanizing, What This Place Makes Me will be a vital touchstone for years to come.
