By: Leonora Carrington     
Ghosts, a toy horse, an ostrich egg, and a menagerie of apocalyptic and chimerical beasts feature in these characteristically playful, never-before-collected plays by the legendary surrealist writer and artist Leonora Carrington.

Best known for her vivid, dreamlike paintings and darkly humorous prose, Leonora Carrington was also a brilliant playwright whose dramatic works are as subversive and sly as anything we have come to expect of her. The first comprehensive collection of Carrington’s plays, this volume gathers plays from her early years in Paris to her later work in Mexico City, and includes several that have never before been translated from French and Spanish.

A young woman falls in love with her rocking horse in the coming-of-age-tale Penelope—a production of which was famously staged in 1961 by Alejandro Jodorowsky. In Flannel Night Shirt, a corpse lies in a pool of blood while ghostly figures in flannel night shirts frolic in the basement. And in the ecofeminist satire Opus Siniestrus, an old woman—the sole survivor of a virus that kills only women—battles the patriarchy to prevent it from claiming the last ostrich egg in the world.

Reminiscent of the films of Maya Deren and David Lynch, these are stories of repressed desires and forbidden pleasures, of myths and mysticism, magic and mayhem, from one of the most singular and imaginative minds of the twentieth century.

Absolutely work!
These are absolutely fantastic. Bygone are the days of sucking on some sugary sweet Candy. Xylo melts stick as they say they do. I have found that they don't stick to artificial teeth as well. They last for hours they're comfortable. The mint ones aren't overpowering. These are a dry mouth blessing. For sure use them at night and during the day.

Invaluable sleep/ dry mouth aid
Cannot live even one night without these Xylimelts. Taste great. Stick well to mouth. Remember: poisonous to dogs. Now we have a dog so I no longer buy the bottles of loose melts as I can spill in middle of night and lose track. Extremely nerve wracking. Using the sheets of melts which you punch out one at a time. Easier to insure dog’s safety.

Wow!!!
Size: 80 ea
XyliMelts were recommended by my new dental hygienist who said she was told about them at a dental conference by a well known hygienist "guru". I ordered them at around four in the morning because I was up as usual because if my chronic pain syndrome and the dry mouth caused by my pain pills. I got them quickly via Amazon and have not been up again this time of night due to the dry mouth. Now I'm up due to the pain but can fall asleep quickly because of the XyliMelts, they work great! I only use one at a time and it lasts around four hours and I put in another one and go right back to sleep. It's so easy to push the little tab out of the cellophane and just hold it on my gum for ten seconds and voila! No more dry mouth. I used to wake up with my mouth so dry there was no saliva at all in my mouth and parched was an understatement, my mouth felt like sandpaper! Now it's always nice and moist and the taste is extremely pleasant (I didn't get the mint). I had to have two teeth extracted four days before Christmas and my dentist said it was due to the dry mouth and that he sees patterns like this in patients with dry mouth and I'd probably lose more teeth unless I came in for cleanings and check ups three times a year instead of two and we kept a really close eye on my teeth. I'd been using Biotene gel but it wasn't keeping my mouth moist long enough. I'm extremely happy with XyliMelt! I'm also 100% sure I won't be losing any more teeth due to my night time dry mouth because it's a thing of the past! Thanks to amazon prime shipping I got my XyliMelts very quickly, and my nighttime dry mouth is a thing of the past! I know they don't claim to stop cavities but without the dry mouth and my new commitment to see my dentist three times a year and to always always brush my teeth before I fall asleep (no more Rolos in bed after I've done my final teeth brushing), I'm confident my dentist won't see a tooth loss pattern in my mouth.

Dry Mouth Tabs, Sugar Free
Size: 80 ea
Always have these in my purse and beside my bed. Mouth is dry and these help to keep it moisturized. Lasts several hours, nice taste, sugar free. I feel saw to use at night, sticks to my mouth wherever I place it. I have never had it slip out of my mouth at night and choke me. My dentist recommended them.
