"Here, collected for the first time, are David Hirson's audacious, famously controversial plays, La Bete and Wrong Mountain. Hirson stunned Broadway with these wickedly subversive, dazzlingly literate works, marking him as a thrillingly unique and innovative talent in the vanguard of contemporary American dramatists.".
"Written entirely in rhyming couplets, La Bete is a quicksilver tragicomedy of language in which a crisis befalling an imagined seventeenth-century acting troupe provides the basis for a relentlessly deepening Chinese box of opinions about life and art.".
"In the wildly inventive Wrong Mountain, Henry Dennett, an obscure yet imperious poet who expresses disdain for contemporary theater, writes a play on a bet and achieves the acclaim that has always eluded him, forcing him to confront questions about identity, aesthetics, and the American definition of success."--BOOK JACKET.
