His thirty-three plays, nine musicals, three operas, and seven scripts for film and television, are a testament to his astonishing commitment to writing. In \u003ci\u003eSelected Plays\u003c\/i\u003e, for the very first time, McNally collects a set of eight plays that he considers the most important of his oeuvre, including the Tony-nominated \u003ci\u003eMothers and Sons\u003c\/i\u003e and the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eAnd Away We Go\u003c\/i\u003e, neither of which have been previously published. Introducing each play with a personal essay that recounts an anecdote or discusses an aspect of the play that proceeds it, McNally himself frames his own life in the theater. \u003ci\u003eSelected Plays\u003c\/i\u003e is a landmark publication, a memoir in plays from one of America's most highly regarded and best-loved playwrights.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47595867898007,"sku":"9780802123572","price":3658.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780802123572.webp?v=1774991502","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/selected-works-a-memoir-in-plays-9780802123572","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
