Curious Plays: Chicago 1988-2022

Dive into this "introspectacle" and weird world of the Curious! This anthology of eight plays offers readers irreverent and iconoclastic narratives by playwrights with a keen ear for the eccentricities and homespun quirks of language. The Curious Theater Branch offers an ensemble of diverse creators with plays ranging from experiments in form to character-driven stories exploring the absurdity of human nature and the banality of personal relationships. Curious Plays is a celebration of Chicago's beloved Curious Theater Branch and The Rhinoceros Theater Festival, a mainstay of Chicago's experimental theater. Curious Plays reflects the theater company it is: a team of creatives who put writing and originality first. With an introduction by playwright Barrie Cole and historical reference materials, the anthology showcases Curious' 35-year history of making diverse, experimental theater while flagrantly flouting the ordinary.
