I am happy to announce that a collection of my plays is scheduled for publication with CSF Publishing. The collection, which is titled Arson & Grace, will feature eight of my plays, all of which have enjoyed a production life here in Taos, New Mexico. 

The plays featured in the collection are: LOBSTERS ON ICE, ADAGIO FOR STRAYS, ZEITGEIST, U.S.A., NURSERY BONES, WHEN IN ROME, PAN, THE BEST MEDICINE, and, WEREWOLVES DON’T WALTZ. 
Listed below is a blurb for the collection. And several images from productions past. More news coming when a publication date is scheduled. 

ARSON & GRACE: Think of the book you are now holding in your hands as a black-market passport to a realm of lucid dreams and savage jest. Or as the splintered signpost to a crossroads where pop culture, mythology and surrealism intersect. Spanning a thirteen-year-period (2003-2016), Arson & Grace comprises eight plays written by John Biscello. In a world, which is warped sibling to ours, and reflected back to us through funhouse mirrors, you will find love, death, madness and family dysfunction given fresh theatrical makeovers, while meeting a motley assortment of characters straddling the blurred lines between reality and illusion. From penile-enlarged patriarchy to airports where babies are confiscated to werewolves who don’t waltz, the spirit of commedia dell’arte and “zanni,” is alive and well in the Wonderland playscapes of Biscello. Abandon reason all ye who enter here—and trespass lightly.
