"Nearly everything about David Adjmi's Stunning has an original ring to it, from the setting . . . to the brassy bleat of the dialogue." -Time Out New York

This volume of distinctive work includes Stunning, set in an insular Syrian Jewish community, where a teenage bride's world is disrupted by her intellectual African American housekeeper; Evildoers, about the collapse of two privileged couples; and Elective Affinities, a post-9/11 monologue.

David Adjimi's other plays include Marie Antoninette, 3C, Strange Attractions, and Caligula. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Whiting Writers' Award and Steinberg Playwright Award, among others. Stunning was selected to appear in The 2012 Methuen Drama Book of New American Plays. His as-yet-untitled memoir is forthcoming from Harper Collins. Adjimi is a member of New Dramatists, a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, the Iowa Playwrights Workshop and the Juliard School. This is his first play collection.
