Gilman, 35, an Alabama native who now lives in Chicago, has been quietly assembling an impressive body of work. Spinning into Butter, about the ramifications of a racist incident on a college campus, had a successful run at the Goodman last year. Her earlier play The Glory of Living, a shockingly deadpan portrait of a teenage girl who helps her husband abduct and kill young women, was produced at London's Royal Court Theatre early last year and won Gilman the Evening Standard award for most promising playwright.

...massacre at Columbine High School and other school shootings in Oregon and Alabama cry out for introspection that should end in action, not argument. Children in the United States are nine times more likely to be killed by gunfire than what the combined probability is in the next top 25 industrial nations. Thirteen American children die in gun-related incidents daily. It is time to take decisive steps to curb this trend before more of our children are caught in the crossfire...
