Subjects: Adult child abuse victims, Drama, Men, Abusive parents

Description: "In an arresting one-woman show, Dael Orlandersmith gives us five unforgettable male characters whose outward dissimilarities belie their inescapable link: a traumatic past plagued by a cycle of violence and abuse. Taking us from Coney Island to Manchester, England and back, Ms. Orlandersmith brings to life a series of harrowing stories that weave together each character's friends, family, lovers, and counselors into an explosive narrative that uncovers the darkest corners of humanity -- and shatters our notions about predators and their victims."--Page 4 of cover.
