Uncertainty brings with it fear and insecurity as well as nostalgic longing for the good old days but for some uncertainty means opportunity and along with it the prospect of change for the better. This volume explores various experiences of uncertainty and includes a series of nine plays gathered by Daniel Gallant entitled ÊNine Signs of the TimesÊ as well as short plays by Neil LaBute John Guare Laura Shaine Cunningham Daniel F. Levin Quincy Long Halley Feiffer Caridad Svich and Clay McLeod Chapman.
