Playwright, TV writer, and author Jen Silverman’s WE PLAY OURSELVES launched to a flurry of praise this week. To build buzz, Literary Hub published an excerpt of the book prior to its release, and Silverman sat down with the New York Times to discuss the book’s origins, the compelling nature of nemeses, drama on and offstage in the theater world, and more. Random House published the novel on February 9, 2021.
