The Mammary Plays: Two Plays - Paperback

by Paula Vogel (Author)

Two plays providing mirror-images of coming of age in the 1960s.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning How I Learned To Drive is a deceptively delicate tale of the sexual awakening of a young girl under the tutelage of her uncle. The Mineola Twins is a political satire examining women's experiences in post-World War II America through the eyes of identical twins living in suburban Long Island, New York. Both plays received multiple productions throughout the U.S., and How I Learned To Drive, one of the most acclaimed plays of 1997, has won 13 major awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, Obies, Lucille Lortel, Drama Desk, NY Drama Critics Circle and Outer Critics Circle awards and the coveted Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
