TCG Publishes INTIMACY AND OTHER PLAYS by Thomas Bradshaw

Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the publication of Thomas Bradshaw's INTIMACY AND OTHER PLAYS. INTIMACY premiered Off-Broadway with The New Group in winter 2014.

Outrageous and bold, Thomas Bradshaw's INTIMACY is a revealing comedy about race, sex, and familiarity in the suburbs. Interracial couple Jerry and Pat enjoy a good-natured relationship with their recently widowed, white evangelical neighbor James, borrowing tools and even sharing the same contractor. Everything's suburban bliss-that is, until a horrified James discovers his neighbors' daughter Janet is a budding porn star...

This funny and fiercely provocative collection also includes DAWN, FULLFILLMENT, SOUTHERN PROMISES, JOB, STROM THURMOND IS NOT A RACIST, LECTURE ON THE BLUES and PURITY.

Thomas Bradshaw's other plays include THE BEREAVED, declared a New York Times Critic's Pick and one of the Best Plays of 2009 by Time Out New York; MARY; and BURNING. He was hailed as the Best Provocative Playwright of 2007 by The Village Voice.
