...Grab Amber! Grab Amber! Would it be the vacant one, punished for her lapse by tribemates who would have eaten Probst-burgers if they could decide who got to cook? Would it be Jerri, who's starting to get on Tina's nerves, or Tina, who's really starting to get on mine?

(The image simply "burned itself into my mind," she explains.) Her spiky plays often take place in a strange nowheresville and feature Greek-style choruses or Brechtian song interludes. For one play, F------ A (Parks doesn't use the dashes), she invented a new language that...
