   “Nearly twenty years ago I wrote the following Editor’s Note: `Each of these plays, each in its own way, sets off in a new direction, explores fresh territory, employs a tactic of its own, in charting the ongoing disaster of current American social discourse....’
   The nobodies collected in that first volume of 7 DIFFERENT PLAYS including the likes of Constance Congdon, Len Jenkin, Jeffrey M Jones, Tony Kushner, and Eric Overmyer. The nobodies collected herein are cut from the same cloth, and of as like consequence and importance for the theater of their time as their predecessors have been.”
Mac Wellman
