This collection brings together three provocative plays by Itamar Moses that explore contemporary culture, morality, and identity. Back Back Back examines the hidden costs of glory as three baseball players face the fallout of performance-enhancing drugs. Celebrity Row imagines a chilling encounter between infamous criminals—Timothy McVeigh, Ted Kaczynski, Ramzi Yousef, and a gang leader—raising questions about responsibility, ideology, and evil. Outrage blends history and philosophy, placing figures like Socrates and Bertolt Brecht in conversation with a modern classroom to interrogate the nature of truth, authority, and dissent. Together, these plays showcase Moses’s sharp dialogue, inventive structure, and fearless engagement with urgent social and ethical dilemmas.
