. Smith & Kraus, $35 (0pp) ISBN 978-1-57525-036-6
In her introduction to Women Playwrights, The Best Plays of 1995, edited by Marisa Smith, Ellen Burstyn asks whether any of these five plays, could have been written by a man. Her quick answer is a definitive no. Drawing from Carl Jung, who defines a woman's consciousness as ""the connected quality of Eros,"" Burstyn states that what all these plays have in common is that they are about people trying to connect or failing to connect.
