Other notable plays include the controversial Stonewall Jackson’s House, which the Pulitzer Drama Jury recommended for the award;Geniuses, produced by Playwrights Horizons and which ran for a year off-Broadway; and the first plays he wrote, a pair of one-acts, Yanks 3 Detroit O Top of the 7th and Rubbers at The American Place. Less notable plays include Fighting International Fat, also produced at Playwrights Horizons, and Tunnel Fever or The Sheep is Out, also produced at The American Place.
