—AIDS Book Review Journal

The first ten years of the AIDS epidemic brought the first generation of playwrights' and performance artists' responses to it. Now the epidemic is into its second decade and artistic responses to it continue to shift and mature. The eight plays in this collection contain some of the most harrowing, most humorous, most human, and most humane work being done in theatre today in response to a crisis that affects an everwidening circle of society who must all share the delirium.
