JARMAN (all this maddening beauty) and Other Plays is a collection of three radically poetic works for live performance by OBIE award–winning playwright Caridad Svich. The playtexts include a lyrical meditation on the legacy of iconic queer artist Derek Jarman, a meditation on displacement and human suffering (Carthage/Cartagena) and an intimately operatic reflection on Penelope and Odysseus (The Orphan Sea). Accompanied by scholarly essays placing the plays in context, this book showcases the beautiful strangeness and profound resistance in Svich’s work.

'Caridad Svich is one of the finest poet/playwrights of this generation. By this I don’t just mean she is a poet and a playwright, but she is a playwright whose plays perform like dramatic poems that are wondrous to the ear and moving to the heart. '
