The company has received three OBIEs, for House [tel], Drummer Wanted [tel] and Good Samaritans [tel]. Maxwell received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2010 and has been commissioned by venues in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Ireland. Although his productions generate a plethora of reviews, there is a deficit of material providing a critical and sustained engagement with his work. The aim of this book is to provide a critical survey of Maxwells work since 1992, including his early participation in Cook County Theater Department. \n\nTouching upon the acting, production.
