A no-holds-barred literary and theatrical extravaganza of ideas, Wim Coleman's The Lullaby Tree reels between prose and verse, vulgarity and beauty, farce and heartbreak, earthiness and metaphysics. It is meant to be read as much as it is to be staged.Wim Coleman is best known as the co-author with Pat Perrin of the cult classic The Jamais Vu Papers. In the same tradition, The Lullaby Tree is an outsized super-fable for our time.His play The Shackles of Liberty won the 2016 Southern Playwrights Competition. His other plays have been anthologized alongside those of Molière, Carlo Gozzi, Woody Allen, Christopher Durang, David Ives, David Mamet, and Wendy Wasserstein. His first collection of poetry is I.O.U. (Adelaide Books).
