United States, Canadian, American Literature 

Two plays that were generated out of the playwrights’ interest in the interpenetrating relationships between carnal desire, spiritual love, media and popular music.Still Desire You (a fresh adaptation of I Love You, Anne Murray, first produced in the 1980s) deals with issues that are central to the growing malaise of celebrity culture in our society. For some fans, innocent fantasies about their connection to the performer behind the song can become real and dangerous obsessions.Fire explores the extraordinary relationship between Pentecostal Christianity, the birth of rock and roll and the rise of right-wing fundamentalism as a force in American politics. Inspired by the lives of Jerry Lee Lewis and Reverend Jimmy Swaggart, who learned how to play on the same piano, Fire traces the rise and fall of Cale and Herschel, the sons of a Southern preacher. - from Amzon
