Piecework / Travail à la Pièce

Abby Paige’s inventiveness and risk-taking propel Franco-American drama further along a path cleared by playwright Grégoire Chabot, in which self-satisfied stories about one’s people and oneself are turned upside down and examined. Having these two very different plays, Piecework: When We Were French and Les filles du QUOI ?, in print enables us to savor the complexity of Paige’s explorations and admire her mastery at communicating them to audiences and now readers. The quality and depth of her work merit a place among the very best of Franco-American literature.
