Plays in time

'Plays In Time' collects four plays by Karen Malpede set during influential events from the late twentieth century to the present: the Bosnian war and rape camps; the invasion and occupation of Iraq and Israel's 2006 bombardment of Lebanon; 9/11 and the US torture program; and the heroism of climate scientists facing attack from well-funded climate change deniers.

In each play in this anthology, nature, poetry, ritual, and empathy are presented in contrast to the abuse of persons and world.
