Named Arizona's professor of the year by the Carnegie Foundation, a faculty member in Arizona State University's creative writing program for more than twenty-five years, Jay Boyer is primarily known as a playwright and a teacher. His plays have been produced in Europe and Canada, as well as throughout America, many of them off-off-Broadway, and they have won honors both here and abroad. But he is equally adept as a fiction writer. During this same quarter century his stories have been honored internationally and published in some of the literary world’s most prestigious journals. Flight and Other Stories brings ten of these together, often drawing us into landscapes so foreign that they defy what we know of our daily reality. We're with the fattest woman on earth as she draws her last breaths and her soul ascends toward its final reward. We meet a divorcee who can fly for no more effort than flapping her arms. We follow a middle-aged butler whose love affair with a young woman leads him first to the mysteries of bondage, and then to the pleasures of malice. Story by story, we set foot into worlds so strange as to seem all but surreal, yet everything feels familiar, each moment rings true. And that’s when we recognize we’re in the hands of one of America’s truly original talents.

The play is, in effect, the main character's monologue,  for material that might otherwise be dramatized comes to us through  her narration as she tells us of a party thrown by herself and her  husband, and events leading up to it.  Carrie and those with whom she  is closest are of a generation unable to connect with one another with  any ease, and therein lies their problem. Monologues are what they do  best.    THE EURIPIDEADS is an evening of theatre comprised of two works, Time  Went By, But Slowly, a sendup of "Alcestis" by Euripides, and  Wollicott's Traveling Rabbit's Foot Minstrels, a sendup of his  "Iphigenia In Taurus". The plays can be mounted individually, but they  benefit from a mounting in tandem. They then provide an evening's  entertainment that means to put the most central presuppositions about  the world held by the Ancients in the hands of Generation Xers - among  these presuppositions, that order was available in the cosmos, that no  matter how capricious the gods might be there is always reason to  believe in justice in the world, that salvation at the hands of the  gods was always a possibility.
