All in the Timing: Fourteen Plays
David Ives's collection, in the Vintage paperback, gathers short plays built on linguistic premises: a language in which "hello" is "velcro," a group of chimps retyping Hamlet, Trotsky dying repeatedly while noticing the ax in his head. The conceits are clever, but Ives is serious about their implications—about chance, repetition, and the absurd contracts language asks us to sign. Vintage's edition collects all fourteen plays in a single volume.For readers who like theatre that treats language as a trapdoor rather than a bridge.
