This anthology of recent New Mexico drama contributes a new vision of the modern New Mexico landscape--urban and rural, northern and southern, female and male, Hispanic and Anglo, scientific and religious. A drifter terrorizes tourists and locals in a rural cafe. A Spanish patriarch takes up personal computing and becomes the target of political murder. Yuppies who work at Sandia Labs engineer the end of humanity during a barbecue. An aging prostitute from the red-light era of Alburquerque's Old Town relives her early days. At the New Mexico State Penitentiary, a nice young thing named Crystal Rae Cox has come to marry a celebrity mass murderer. New Mexico Plays is designed to interest students of drama and theatrical audiences, as well as readers of New Mexico.
