Night of the Frogs With the realistic dross of our time, here comes a verse play on the Salem Witch Hunts of 1692 that brings pleasure to the ear, action to the eye and the introduction of a character, as yet untreated, who becomes a hero—an American businessman. Sautee and Nacoochee Adapted to modern time, Sautee and Nacoochee is a love story derived from a Georgia Indian legend. Through one-liners and giggles, Sautee and Nacoochee brings humor and pathos to a theatrical crossroads that results in a shattering climax. "You found a trenchant, driving rhythm for the verse, something that is all your own. It wasn't imposed on the characters: it spoke for them." —Christopher Fry "The writing is poetic and the author plays on words that make them interpretive bombs set to explode with symbolism in all directions. (Manns') humor is successful, not contrived. He has created phrases that you will remember and quote, and that will last." —I.D. Snow, The Great Speckled Bird "One of the most exciting and highly theatrical scripts I have ever read." —Stuart Culpepper, The Atlanta Journal and Constitution

Porcelain is an examination of a young man's crime of passion. Triply scorned - as an Asian, a homosexual, and now a murderer - nineteen-year-old John Lee has confessed to shooting his lover in a public lavatory in London. Porcelain dissects the crime through a prism of conflicting voices: newscasts, flashbacks, and John's recollections to a prison psychiatrist. A Language of Their Own is a lyrical and dramatic meditation on the nature of desire and sexuality as four men - three Asian and one white - come together and drift apart in a series of interconnecting stories.

This history has been gleaned from the works of Ethnology by James Mooney and from word of mouth, as related to the author during the past thirty years. In the beginning of historical events, we hear of man in his paradisaical home, located somewhere within the boundaries known as ancient Egypt or Chaldea. His home was far away and his former history shrouded in the darkness of countless centuries of the past, and when we contemplate the remoteness of his ancestry, we become lost in the midst of our own research. When historical light began to flash from the Orient, we find man emerging with some degree of civilization from a barbaric state into the advanced degrees of civilized and enlightened tribes. When the maritime navigator, full of visions and dreams, dared to sail for those hitherto undiscovered shores, now known as America, there lived within the realm a wandering, happy, yet untutored, race of men whom we afterwards called Indians, who dwelt in great numbers along the whole distance from Penobscot Bay south to the everglades of Florida.
