Bill Bishop goes to war - Eric Peterson
Walsh - Sharon Pollock
It's all true - Jason Sherman
His Greatness - Daniel MacIvor
The Golden Thug - Edward Roy
Cavafy
Pasolini/Pelosi
Capote at Yado
In Which Pier Paolo Pasolini<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_Paolo_Pasolini> Sees His Own Death in the Face of a Boy
My Night With Tennessee
More Divine
