Review Quotes:
Plevnes contrasts the violence of European history with the beauty of its dramatic tragedies, scenes from the canon --Aeschylus, Shakespeare, Beckett are interwoven with the story of an artist.
The New York Times
One of Plevnes's key themes is the constant rivalry between government and the artist. In his theater, the history of politics and the history of art clash violently with each other.

In Jordan Plevnes's playwriting we always come across a labyrinth of historical events, of the absurdities of history, of her cruelty, which he manages to convey even beyond what we call "the Theatre of the Absurd"
Jacques Lacarrière French writer, Author of The Gnostics
The Eighth Wonder of the World is a novel with a piercing irony in terms of the colossal absurdities of the world we live in today.
