Description:“Cummings's voice howls boldly, bravely, beautifully, wittily, cunningly, mellifluously into the literary wilderness. He guides us effortlessly to see/to be his characters... He accomplishes his sleights of hand with grace and believability and power. I admire him enormously.” --Caroline Thompson, writer of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and 'Edward Scissorhands'Set in 1940s Florida, Middle America, Hollywood in the 70s, curious netherspheres between life and death, and deep inside the imaginations of characters whose greatest abundances are their emotions, the ten stories in Cummings's eclectic collection ORPHANS evoke familiar and strange scenarios of love and loss, heartbreak and humor, spirituality and sexuality, and the quelling of violence.An unhappy housewife mired by the ravages of war fantasizes about killing her own daughter. An unlikely couple in the heart of Americana is brought together by strange sparks of magic trapped in a horoscopes column. The dark but achingly honest confessions of a Hollywood icon's emotionally deranged son cause him to band together with like-minded misfits. A play about a sweet, sickly little boy illuminates a weird world of living, corporeal dolls that gently dance him to his imminent death. And there is more.
