{"product_id":"9780573663130","title":"Agnes of God","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrama \/ 3m, 3f \/ Finalist for the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in Drama In 1955, in the redwood country north of San Francisco, a multiracial girl grows up in a predominantly white town whose residents pepper their speech with the historical dialect of Boontling. Found floating in a basket on the river as an infant, Bulrusher is an orphan with a gift for clairvoyance that makes her feel like a stranger even amongst the strange: the taciturn schoolteacher who adopted her, the madam who runs her brothel with a fierce discipline, the logger with a zest for horses and women, and the guitar-slinging boy who is after Bulrusher's heart. Just when she thought her world might close in on her, she discovers an entirely new sense of self when a black girl from Alabama comes to town. Passionate, lyrical, and chock full of down-home humor, this play is an unforgettable experience by a new, thrilling voice. \"[Davis] tickles the ears of her listeners...moving scenes on the banks of the pebble-strewn river...feel utterly true.\" - The New York Times \"Davis explores her themes in unexpected and evocative ways ...The still waters of Bulrusher turn out to run pretty deep.\" - The San Francisco Chronicle \"...an engrossing rush.\n\u003cbr\u003e..Eisa Davis' gleaming marriage of poetry and myth...has a big heart and a wide-open soul.\" - Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune \"Mixing together issues of family, heritage, race and love, Eisa Davis' Bulrusher delivers a powerful impact with a poetic, deeply realized script and story.
