She illuminates their intellectual and ethical themes by contextualizing them with the other works of theatre, art, theology, and psychology that Baker read while writing. Through close discussions of her plays, this book immerses readers in Baker's attunement to everyday language, her themes of loneliness, desire, empathy, and storytelling, and her innovations with stage time. Enriched by interviews and engaging essays by three scholars, this is a companionable guide that deepens the reader's knowledge and appreciation of Baker's dramatic invention"--

Book excerpt: It's "Body Awareness Week" on a Vermont college campus and Phyllis, the organizer, and her partner, Joyce, are hosting one of the guest artists in their home, Frank, a photographer famous for his female nude portraits. Both his presence in the home and his chosen subject instigate tension from the start. Phyllis is furious at his depictions, but Joyce is rather intrigued by the whole thing, even going so far as to contemplate posing for him. As Joyce and Phyllis bicker, Joyce's adult son, who may or may not have Asperger's Syndrome, struggles to express himself physically with heartbreaking results.
