E. Reid Gilbert has been engaged in theatre as a playwriter, performer, mime, choreographer, director of a major center for mime in Spring Green, WI, a student of Kabuki and Indian Kathakali Dance, as well as having written his infamous 100 Limericks for 100 Days of Trump, and multiple books in his octogenarian years. He continues his writing at 88 years of age, with his next book documenting his approach to physical acting and movement for the stage. This collection of nine plays and one screenplay capture his creative prowess in all of its tragi-comic temperament. Here, are stories of race and the south where he grew up as a boy, and the skill of an actor/playwright who has known both sides of theatre, from performing to directing and playwriting – a lovely summary of his work to date for stage and screen.
