One of the eccentric Pendragon plays, this darkly poetic drama tells of Jane Lamb's heritage of passion and madness through three generations. Owen Pendragon, the angry last Lord of Pendragon Castle, who has already buried three young wives, arouses first the pity and then the love of a beautiful servant girl. She dies giving birth to Mary, his child. Mary is mad and she burns the castle with Owen in it before fleeing to America with her schoolmaster, Zachary Lamb. The ghosts of Mary's parents haunt her; the madness returns and, in a series of breathtaking lurches through time and space, the play moves to a horrifying conclusion. The story is told as an intricately interwoven and highly theatrical nightmare that pulls you into a passionate, sardonic and darkly beautiful world.

Glamorgan and Other Plays 9190 Title Collection / Anthology This eight play collection is a diverse mixture of strangeness laced with dark humor and supernatural terror. The title play, Glamorgan, is an eerie, Gothic precursor to Nigro's long sequence of Pendragon County plays. There are three twisted monologues for women, one with an unborn sister trapped inside her skull (The Weird Sisters), one who finds herself giving birth to hundreds of squirrels (Squirrels), and one who obsessively builds a huge, surreal mansion to house the ghosts of all the persons killed by Winchester rifles (Within The Ghostly Mansion's Labyrinth). There is also another labyrinth play (Fair Rosamund And Her Murderer), the darkly comic tale of the famously beautiful mistress of King Henry II and her romance with the thief sent to her labyrinth to kill her, a tale of subtle but deadly betrayal involving The Benny Hill Show (Give Us A Kiss And Show Us Your Knickers), a tale of forbidden love and obsessive spinning between a Devil-worshipping brother and sister (Major Weir) and a powerful modern, realistic play about the passionate and dangerous encounter between an American journalist and a girl who has become a sniper in a war torn Balkan country (Necropolis). There's a little something for everyone here in this densely packed treasure chest of curiosities and horrors.
