CLICK:ABATON PRICE LIST The New Abaton Library is pleased to announce the online availability of "To-Night at 8:00" by Lauri Bortz. Included in this volume are two tragicomedies, "A Modicum of Passion" and "Fixed," the first published works by this Chicago-born playwright. Lauri Bortz is the author of several plays and the co-creator of "Sordid Lives", a weekly episodic drama which was performed at the Pyramid Club in the East Village. Her first play, "Two Minus God," was adapted for film and screened at The United Nations' Dag Hammarskjold Theater. Two subsequent one-acts, "Dragons and Dust" and an early version of "Fixed," were presented by the AWD Resident Theatre Company as part of their Triple Dare series at The Creative Place Theatre, New York City. "To-Night at 8:00" explores a bizarre yet familiar world imbued with mutant social codes and jolted by rude awakenings. You are certain to find yourself both wildly amused and gnawingly perplexed while under the influence of Ms. Bortz's keen wit and intellect. Illustrating this book are twenty-four drawings by New York artist J.D. Fleishman, who has had numerous exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Fleishman is a former adjunct professor of graphic arts at the Parsons School of Design. Her work is included in the collection of the Arnhem Museum, Holland. "To-Night at 8:00" retails for fifteen dollars and is currently available for purchase through Abaton Book Company and: in New York at UP&CO, Printed Matter, and St. Mark's Bookshop; in the Chicago area at The Bookstall and Books on Vernon; in Washington, DC at Backstage, Inc.; in Tucson at Elizabeth Cherry Contemporary Art; in Amsterdam at International Theatre & Film Books, Athenaeum Boekhandel, Xantippe, and Boekie Woekie; in Cologne at Kunsthaus.
