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!

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.
