In one volume are seven of Christopher Durang's eight full-length plays. The Idiots Karamazov: This satiric work takes a mocking look at Russian and American Literature. The Vietnamization of New Jersey: Ridicules the anti-war plays of the earlyl 1970s. A History of the American film: A whirlwind parody through four decades of Hollywood schlock. Beyond therapy: A farcical comedy focuses on Prudence and Bruce, two Manhattanites who are seeking stable romantic relationships with the help of their psychiatrists, each of whom suggests their patient place a personal ad in the newspaper. Baby and the Bathwater: Two unprepared and unattentive parents name their son Daisy. Daisy grows up and after much trauma and therapy changes his name and becomes a father, swearing to not repeat the mistakes of his parents. The Marriage of Bette and Boo: Bette and Boo have one child, Matt, who narrates the story of his parents' marriage, children, divorce, and so on that ultimately leads to their downfall and eventually death. Laughing Wild: The woman is emotional and unstable, and talks about hitting someone in the supermarket who wouldn't get out of the way of the tuna fish she wanted to buy. The man, who was the man hit by the woman over tuna fish, gives a speech about positive thinking, but keeps spiraling into negativity.
