This collection contains three full-length plays: GERALD'S GOOD IDEA, THE SECRET WIFE and THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE. "If there is a common thread in York's projects, it is that they are full of uncommon characters: children, 1960s housewives, black financial consultants, Native American activists. Very few of York's characters seem to have anything to do with the playwright herself...and her attention to those differences gives her work a frankly political spin." American Theater " Y York makes her points] by not taking herself too seriously, even as she offers astute observations about environmental, racial, and family matters." The New York Times "The future with all its exhilarating potential and terrifying possibilities has Y York in its grip. York does not struggle to break free, or even squirm. Calmly, with great wit and insight, she writes plays: environmental science-fiction plays that raise important questions even as they entertain." St Louis Post Dispatch " Y York] displays a strong imagination and raucous humor..." St Louis Sun " Y York] writes with passion and delivers a powerful appeal for personal freedom and idiosyncratic behavior." St Louis Post Dispatchfrom reviews of THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE "An ambitious modern fable'--concerning ecological disaster, race relations, and the human condition... A Native American fisherman's extreme response to an atrocious oil spill brings his family together with that of the African-American lawyer who defends him.... The script conspires to bring massive, global issues to a human, even comic plane. Peripheral choices--such as a mother struggling with whether to not to stop contributing to her planet's demise by using laundry bleach--are weighed against the fisherman's violent choice in a world where rats chewing through computer chips can bring our entire justice system to a halt. In the avalanche' of today's reality, this show offers us a chance to examine our own responsibility as, you guessed it, the flakes." The Seattle Weekly "York has a real flair for wry, intelligent humor.... THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE forgoes preaching for a gentle hopefulness that we can set things right on the planet and learn to understand each other better." Seattle Times "At one point in a discussion on environmental responsibility, Janet, the wife of] Thomas, a Native American being defended for shooting the president of a corporation responsible for a major oil spill, refers to Russell as you white people.' Action stops for a moment, and the implications hit, with strong force. To say that Y York's THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE is provocative, is somewhat an understatement." Seattle Gay News "An OUR TOWN for Our Time...THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE is about...our shared home-earth.... York has a wonderful gift for writing funny lines, and she's endowed all her characters with individual senses of humor. Even a sort of all-knowing nature sprite...has a delightful, sly wit. The tone and style of the whole production is, indeed, surprisingly light for what is basically a play about philosophical decisions...THE SNOWFLAKE AVALANCHE is an adult play which children can enjoy."

A game. A husband and wife game. Gerald's Game. But this time Jesse doesn't want to play. Lying there, spread-eagled and handcuffed to the bedstead while he looms and drools over her, she feels angry and humiliated. So she kicks out hard. Aims to hit him where it hurts. He isn't meant to die, leaving Jesse alone and helpless in a lakeside holiday cabin. Miles from anywhere. No-one to hear her screams. Alone. Except for the stray dog that smells her blood, the voices in her head which begin to chatter, and the board which creaks stealthily at nightfall, signalling that something or someone else is close by.

Master storyteller Stephen King presents this classic, terrifying #1 New York Times bestseller. When a game of seduction between a husband and wife ends in death, the nightmare has only begun... *A Netflix film directed by Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Hush) and starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood* "And now the voice which spoke belonged to no one but herself. Oh my God, it said. Oh my God, I am all alone out here. I am all alone." Once again, Jessie Burlingame has been talked into submitting to her husband Gerald's kinky sex games--something that she's frankly had enough of, and they never held much charm for her to begin with. So much for a "romantic getaway" at their secluded summer home. After Jessie is handcuffed to the bedposts--and Gerald crosses a line with his wife--the day ends with deadly consequences. Now Jessie is utterly trapped in an isolated lakeside house that has become her prison--and comes face-to-face with her deepest, darkest fears and memories. Her only company is that of the various voices filling her mind...as well as the shadows of nightfall that may conceal an imagined or very real threat right there with her...
