Duo!: The Best Scenes for Mature Actors
(Applause Acting Series). This foray into the deeply serious and deeply funny (sometimes at the same time) world of life after 40 focuses primarily on scenes that depict the struggles of contemporary characters to come to terms with disappointment and obsolescence or to redeem their lives from the mistakes or miscalculations of their youth. It draws heavily on American classics like Long Day's Journey into Night , Death of a Salesman , The Price , Glengarry Glen Ross , Fences , and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? , as well as more recent classics-in-the-making like August: Osage County , Good People , and God of Carnage . There is also ample representation from British playwrights like Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard, Simon Gray, and Peter Nichols, whose work also explores this territory of growing older in a society obsessed by youth and novelty.
This is Not what I Ordered
Ever walked into a restaurant and seen an attractive couple in the back talking excitedly, their hands gesturing wildly, their expressions changing swiftly from joy to sadness and back again? Ever wondered what they were saying? Well, we have no clue about that, but if you want a really funny and touching play about men and women in restaurants and bars looking for love and finding much more than they bargained for, then check out THIS IS NOT WHAT I ORDERED. The LA Weekly raved that it "mines the bottomless pit of male-female partnering." Backstage West chimed in that "a startled deer in an SUV's headlights has nothing on these love-phobic characters. In the sure hands of a relationship-savvy playwright, an evening of charm and humor is bound to follow."
Courbet's Blue Parrot: Poems about Love and Sex
"Stephen Fife, who completed his 10,000 hours decades ago, is a life-wisened, hopelessly romantic, funny sonuvabitch." - Stephen Adly Guirgis "A terrific selection of work ... often about sex, and how it can be a wonder of the world." - Michael Lindsay-Hogg Courbet's Blue Parrot is a collection of 46 poems - both heady and sexy - about Love and Sex that span 50 years of Stephen Fife's poetry, from his youthful worship of feminine enchantments to feelings of pain and bitterness following his divorce and other breakups. In his earliest poem, One, Fife writes that "There is no me, there is no you, / There is not even us - there is only/ Love, a place where we can always run/ To find each other....
Wild Dogs
Wild Dogs: Poems of War and Resilience covers over 50 years of Steve Fife's poetry, from 1969-2022, including powerful current reflections on the Ukrainian crisis. It is a companion book to Courbet's Blue Parrot: Poems of Love and Sex, also published by ShiftPoetry Press, and also covering half a century of Fife's sexy to soulful engagement with women. Wild Dogs is a book about the search for The Real and The True in human existence. A search for something to believe in, in the absence of God or religious orthodoxy. A search for a beauty in life that matches the beauty of the human spirit. A search for reasons to keep hoping after witnessing years of War and human conflict, the slaughter of innocents, the pain that people inflict on one another. And through it all there is laughter-grim, sad, hilarious. Laughter that heals many wounds. Laughter that is the only way to keep the Wild Dogs of Darkness at bay. "Stephen Fife, who completed his 10,000 hours decades ago, is a life-wisened, hopelessly romantic, funny sonuvabitch." - Stephen Adly Guirgis, Pulitzer Prize winning playwright
