"224 ONE ACT PLAYS DEFINED~~~!!!! Michael A~~~~ I'm an aspiring writer and was looking for some example of "compactness" where I could see works that were written very tightly for maximum impact. This collection succeeds for me and I will use it as reference with my own work. Aside from that everything in this volume is quite a lot of fun. Actors will also relish this collection because it will help them polish their acting skills. The key to good acting and good writing I think is to be able to shift and make things work whether they be on the page or in a live performance.

This great collection of one act plays from some of last century's great Playwrights was just what I needed for my Stage Design class. It gave them much needed access to quality plays and a chance to see what collaborative work really means. Tho' most the plays were dated in some aspect, surroundings, idioms, cultural contexts, they touch on what all good plays and writing need, real human feelings and relationships.. Five Stars Excellent choice of one-act plays.
