The Hopscotch Man by John A. Homer is the autobiographical life story of England native John Homer, whose thirst for adventure led him from his small home town to the streets of Vienna, through the deserts of Iran, to the mountains of Brazil to the shores of Hawaii and everywhere in between. John relished the challenges that new surroundings created as he spent his life hopscotching from country-to-country and continent-to-continent. With each new square he has learned that life is more than simply a passage of time, as it must be experienced, relished and most of all, enjoyed. John's detailed descriptions of the places he went and the people he met along the way truly bring his story to life. The reader will feel as if they are traveling along with John on his lifetime of adventures.

This is a study of the state of research on and history of performances of 40 American playwrights, including major mainstream, ethnic, and regional playwrights. The essays list their published and unpublished plays, as well as their other works; document the performances; identify bibliographies, biographies, critical studies, and analyses of the plays; and discuss the critical reception. The volume deals with production histories, covering critics, actors, directors, and theater companies that have contributed as much to theater as the playwrights themselves. It also discusses original screenplays and identifies writing on younger playwrights on whom research has just begun. ISBN 0-313-25543-1: $66.00 (For use only in the library).
