Synopsis

In this book you will find fifty terrific new ten-minute plays, all successfully produced during the 2011-2012 theatrical season. They are written in a variety of styles, some realistic, some are not, some comic, some are dramatic. The ten-minute play form lends itself well to experimentation in style. Also included, for the first time, a comprehensive list of theaters which do ten-minute plays.
