Icarus: The Collected Plays is an excursion into the uniqueness of an individual confronting an indifferent and often hostile universe. A demigod, time travelers, vampires, the pioneers of modern-day rocketry, a magus, two young convicts, an amateur bodybuilder, a murderous alien—misfits, all of them. Each of these fifteen plays is a projection of existence with an unusual main character and those within his sphere of influence. They are the manipulators of a reality of their own creation.
