EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWS

An important step forward in the development of the most exciting new writers of dramatic literature and a timely reminder of the towering talent of some of our already established dramatists.
- World Literature Today

there is pure excitement in these plays! Should you buy this collection for your personal library? Of course. Should you insist that your school and town libraries include the whole series I their holdings? CERTAINLY!
-Dramatics Magazine

These are sharp, tightly constructed pieces with small casts, as readable as they are actable- Just the sort of thing community players and other small ensembles will find practical.
