Balm in Gilead and Other Plays

"Lanford Wilson is the rare dramatist, witty and humorous, who sees all his characters from the inside...Balm is life itself trapped in a play." — New York

Balm in Gilead and Other Plays features Lanford Wilson's first full-length play. It takes place in upper Manhattan at a greasy, slum diner, Frank's cafe, where drug addicts, sex works, and petty criminals come to escape their boredom and suffering.
