Since his first play, <i>And Things That Go Bump in the Night</i>, which premiered in 1965, McNally has proven himself to be a trailblazing figure and unique voice in American theater, known for his exploration of gay themes and his chronicling of America’s changing social attitudes over the past fifty years. His thirty-three plays, nine musicals, three operas, and seven scripts for film and television, are a testament to his astonishing commitment to writing. In <i>Selected Plays</i>, for the very first time, McNally collects a set of eight plays that he considers the most important of his oeuvre, including the Tony-nominated <i>Mothers and Sons</i> and the critically acclaimed <i>And Away We Go</i>, neither of which have been previously published. Introducing each play with a personal essay that recounts an anecdote or discusses an aspect of the play that proceeds it, McNally himself frames his own life in the theater. <i>Selected Plays</i> is a landmark publication, a memoir in play
