Summary
This book collects some of Judith Thompson's earlier, hard-to-find plays, including “White Biting Dog”, a poetic black comedy about a divorced lawyer who prepares to kill himself by jumping off the Bloor Street Viaduct, until he encounters a small dog who sets him on a different path; “I Am Yours”, a harrowing story about a group of characters on the brink of despair as each tries to escape what haunts them the most; and “Pink”, a moving monologue set in 1970s South Africa that centres on a young girl's surprising reaction after her nanny is murdered during a protest.
