3.0 out of 5 stars
Impressively diverse selection,
By Matt Hetling "Matt" (Bethel, ME USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fifteen American One Act Plays (Anta Series of Distinguished Plays) (Paperback)
Any collection of plays has to be judged by the quality of the individual pieces that it has chosen. By that measure, Kozelka has done a good job of bringing together a group of American one-act plays that manages to be diverse and qualitative.We get the plays from a variety of genres and levels of fame; the most famous are Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," Lucille Fletcher's "Sorry, Wrong Number," and Stephen Vincent Benet's "The Devil and Daniel Webster." Each play begins with a short (two or three paragraph) biography of the playwright, which is a nice way to give some context to the selections. If you are looking to put on a one-act play, this is a great set from which to choose; alternatively, if you just like to read plays, the shortness of these fine selections makes this a good shopping stop for small tastes of different authors.

Drama Major Favorite!,

This review is from: Fifteen American One Act Plays (Anta Series of Distinguished Plays) (Paperback)
I loved this book. i Have one of the original copies that I happened to stubmle across at a library book sell. I loved it so much that I've recomended it to my friends and given it as a gift. Whether you're interested in drama or not the plays in here are hilarious.I especially recommend Impromptu. YOu will get a kick out of winifred's snide comments. Not too mention the famous one act plays of The Man WHo Died at TWelve Oclock and THe Devil and Daniel webster are in here. It is a must read for anyone who appreciates theater and/or the antics of life.
