The first play, The Interrogation, is a taut psychological thriller that follows two detectives as they interrogate a suspect in a high-stakes murder case. As the detectives press for answers, the suspect's story begins to unravel, revealing a web of secrets and lies.

The second play, The Birthday Party, is a darkly comic satire that follows a group of friends as they celebrate a birthday party that quickly spirals out of control. As the partygoers drink and dance, their true selves begin to emerge, leading to a series of confrontations and revelations.

The third play, The Love Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer, is a poetic and poignant meditation on the life and legacy of the scientist who developed the atomic bomb. As Oppenheimer recalls his past, he grapples with the moral implications of his work and the profound impact it has had on the world.

The fourth play, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, is a surreal and imaginative retelling of the biblical story of Judas Iscariot. As Judas awaits his execution, he is visited by a series of characters, including Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, and the Devil. Through these encounters, Judas is forced to confront his own guilt and the consequences of his actions.

Inoculations is a powerful and moving collection of plays that will stay with you long after you finish reading them. Donnell's writing is sharp and insightful, and his characters are complex and believable. These plays are a must-read for anyone who loves theater or is interested in the human condition.
