Terminal Bar (play)
Terminal Bar is a one-act play by playwright and Yale University alumni Paul Selig.[1][2] The play was featured in the compilation book The Best Short Plays 1988.[3] PlotA plague has annihilated civilization yet New York is still standing. Outside of the unseen voice of a radio announcer, the seemingly last people in New York are a Texan woman, a sex worker and a teenage schoolboy holed up inside the ramshackle Terminal Bar. Critical receptionThe New York Times, "To a great extent, style compensates for the familiarity of the subject matter. What the playwright has done is to create three colorful characters facing their demise with differing attitudes."[1] Los Angeles Times, ""Terminal Bar" is a play that knows how to set us down into a mystery—the character kind, not the genre kind—while not being overly concerned that we find our way out."[2] References
