New Releases by John Krizanc

Available for the first time in over thirty years, John Krizanc’s internationally acclaimed play redefined the limits of theatre with its haunting tale of art, sex, violence, and political intrigue in Fascist Italy. In the late twenties the poet, war hero, and lothario Gabriele d’Annunzio waits in his opulent villa — a gift from Benito Mussolini in return for his political silence — for the arrival of the artist Tamara de Lempicka, who is to paint his portrait. What follows is a tale of art, sex, violence and the meaning of complicity in an authoritarian state. The action is directed by the reader/audience member, who decides which characters to follow and which narratives to experience. John Krizanc’s masterpiece redefined theatre and won six L.A. Drama Critics Circle Awards, six Dora Mavor Moore Awards, six Drama-Logue Awards, and six Mexican Association of Theatre Critics, and Journalists Awards for its original productions. Now available in a handsome new A List edition, Tamara is an astonishing piece of experimental art and a penetrating look into ethical choices in times of encroaching autocracy.

A fast-paced romp through the lives, loves and curling rivalries of a small Canadian town, MEN WITH BROOMS is now a major motion picture starring Paul Gross, Leslie Nielsen and Molly Parker. Touching and comical, this tale of death, curling, eccentric parenting and unrequited love is sure to charm readers of all ages.

Includes manuscript and typescript of "Diary of an Independent Studies Project in Directing"; first and final draft of "Crimes of Innocence", a play by John Krizanc, directed by Richard Rose.

Also includes undated typescript poetry by John Krizanc.
