CALLING FOR HELP, by Peter Handke, and VLADIMIR MAYAKOVSKY: A TRAGEDY, by Vladimir Mayakovsky, the most acclaimed poet of soviet Russia until he killed himself in the early '30s. Unfortunately, he evidently wasn't much of a playwright. The Handke doesn't even bear thinking about, although Handke obviously expected it did.
