Includes Revised Broadway version of Appropriate Winner of three 2024 Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Play

A double-volume containing two astonishing breakout plays from one of the theatre's most exciting and provocative writers.

In Appropriate, strained familial dynamics collide with a tense undercurrent of socio-political realities when the Lafayettes gather at a former plantation home to sift through the belongings of their deceased patriarch.

An Octoroon is an audacious investigation of theatre and identity, wherein an old play gives way to a startlingly original piece.

This collection also includes the short play I Promise Never Again to Write Plays About Asians...
