“In your earliest memories, the bones are already there: the posts and the frame and the deck, the woodshop tang of fresh-cut lumber close to your nose as you crawl up the front steps and in. You understand that your father built the cabin, but there is something about it, too, that seems alive. As if some essential core rose up to meet your family, and your father shaped it, changing what would have been enough into what would be best.”

This new international collection features Adam’s play, Last Train In.
From the publisher:
“[These twenty new plays] craftily subvert and smash stereotypes about how those within the disability community should look, think, and behave. Utilizing the often-conflicting tools of Critical Disability Studies and Medical Humanities, these plays and their accompanying essays approach disability as a vast, intersectional demographic, which ties individuals together less by whatever impairment, difference, or non-normative condition they experience, and more by their daily need to navigate a world that wasn't built for them. From race, gender, and sexuality to education, dating, and pandemics, these plays reveal there is no aspect of human life that does not, in some way, intersect with disability.”
