This collection includes three full-length plays: APPROACHING SIMONE, BABES IN THE BIGHOUSE, and VIET ROCK. APPROACHING SIMONE: Simone Weil, a French girl of Jewish extraction whose death in 1943 was caused primarily by self-imposed starvation, is the subject of this striking theatrical exploration into the nature of faith and spirituality. BABES IN THE BIGHOUSE: A documentary fantasy musical that explores feminism, sexuality, and the degradation of women. VIET ROCK: Through the use of dialogue, music, chant, dance, pantomime, and image, the play satirizes attitudes toward the Vietnam war. "The work of no other contemporary American playwright can boast the extraordinary scope of that of Megan Terry.

Megan Terry remains a key figure in the development of the American alternative theater." David Savran, In Their Own Words: Contemporary American Playwrights
