East Village Tetralogy: Four Plays“Nersesian is this generation’s Mark Twain and the East River is his Mississippi” (Jennifer Belle, author of High Maintenance). These four sharply witty plays—three of which have been staged off Broadway—come from an award-winning playwright, poet, and novelist who has gained a cult following in his native New York City and beyond, and earned a reputation as “one of the wittiest and most perceptive chroniclers of downtown life” (Time Out New York). Included in this volume are:

Each yields very powerful human results while subtly investigating the major social issues of our time.” —Evangelina Borges, Trying Time Press Named Best Indie Novel of the Year by the Montreal Mirror |
