Three plays. Three hotly-contested social issues. Dogfall pits a vigilante against a suicide doctor in a battle of twisted ideologies. Purging Mary tears apart a right-to-life crusader when his wife is raped and becomes pregnant. Gloria Dei puts a priest on trial for the death of a brain-dead woman. One collection. No easy answers.

Winner of the Southeastern Theatre Conference’s Getchell Award, these three plays together form an unsparing look at the moral fault lines running through American life — the right-to-die debate, abortion-on-demand, and the collision of religious conviction with political reality.
