Dramatists Play Service is pleased to announce the publication of:

CROWNS by Regina Taylor"Taylor pulls off a Hat Trick: She scores thrice, turning CROWNS into an artful amalgamation of oral history, fashion show, and musical theater…Hats off to Regina Taylor for a considerable achievement." —TheatreMania.com "…wholly theatrical…Ms. Taylor has created a show that seems to arise out of spontaneous combustion, as if a bevy of department-store customers simultaneously decided to stage a revival meeting in the changing room." —The New York Times "Warm, wise and wonderful." —The Star Ledger

SIN (A CARDINAL DEPOSED) by Michael MurphyWinner of a 2005 Obie Award. “SIN looks at the scandalous child sex-abuse crimes that sent shockwaves through the Catholic Church. In his stark treatment, Michael Murphy studiously avoids graphic accounts of creepy priests diddling altar boys. His stunning revelations are presented by contrasting depositions given by Cardinal Law with statements of young victims and their families.” —Variety “Murphy’s quietly disturbing play…reveals with devastating clarity the dubious role that Cardinal Law played in a tragedy that irreparably damaged hundred of families and destroyed more than a few lives.” —The New York Times

TOUCH by Toni Press-Coffman“…a gripping, heart-wrenching, tender drama whose scenes shift seamlessly, character to character, past to present.” —The New York Times “So often these days, theater aspires to nothing more than sheer escapism. But now and then, a deeply touching play comes along. TOUCH is one of those.” —The Miami Herald “Toni Press-Coffman’s play celebrates the beauty of survival with eloquence and grace.” —The Portland Oregonian
