The seventh in an annual series of plays by emerging playwrights. The anthology contains the full scripts of twelve plays produced during the past season in New York City with biographies of the authors, production and cast notes, and permission information. For the first time an appendix is included which serves as a directory of the new American plays produced in New York City in the 2004-05 season.
SKYBLAZERS is a collection of plays that range from the existential, to "film" noir, and to the world of terrorism. They're a penetrating look into anti-heroes and the struggling individual. Among the protagonists are the father of modern day rocketry, an amateur bodybuilder, vampires, young prison inmates, and a murderous alien. "Gerard Denza is a fine writer. His plays contain unusual and original themes." Mario Fratti Playwright (NINE) "The playwright has a gift for words. EDMUND: The Likely is like being at a good, old fashioned 1940's radio mystery broadcast." Joe Franklin WOR-AM Rich dialogue . . . very rich dialogue in this play, THE DYING GOD: A Vampire's Tale.

The increasingly sophisticated constitution of the European Union takes account of the fact that different areas of law and policy need to be tackled in different ways - some can be the subject of centralized decision-making, whilst others can only be dealt with at the intergovernmental level. This reality is represented in the European Union's three pillar structure. The best known pillar is the most centralized one - the EC. There are however two intergovernmental pillars - dealing with the common foreign and security policy and cooperation in justice and home affairs - which are becoming increasingly important. In this ground breaking examination of the public international law and Community methods used within the European Union, the author argues that the intergovernmental pillars have created possibilities for cooperation in areas where it would previously have been unthinkable.
In these six strikingly original plays, ranging from the existential, to the film noir, to madcap comedy, Gerard Denza introduces readers to a demi-god, an avenging teenage boy, a cynical vampire, a pathological killer, a celebrity housewife, and a competitive bodybuilder. The intriguing plots bring new twists to the life-after- death theme, time travel, the deadly politics of the opera world, the sub-culture of bodybuilding, the machinations of the world of terrorism, and the occult. Mr. Denza has a penetrating and off-beat understanding of character and motivation. Each play has its hero, anti-hero or villain and a cast of supporting characters who are memorable and entertaining.
