About this title

About the Author:

Lanford Wilson continues to prove with each new work that he is one of the outstanding American playwrights of his generation. Lanford Wilson: 21 Short Plays is the second book in the Smith and Kraus plays For Actors Series. This series' goal is to ensure that the works of contemporary American playwirghts will be available in trade editions for actors, schools, libraries.

From Library Journal:

Wilson is best known for his 1980 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Talley's Folly . His other famous plays are The Hot L Baltimore , 5th of July , and Angels Fall. The short plays in this collection, spanning more than 20 years of Wilson's writing, are arranged chronologically, starting in 1964 and ending in 1991. The early works reflect the "shock" threater of the 1960s while the later selections show the growth and maturation of an accomplished writer. For most entries, Wilson includes notes that let him explain his thoughts or inspirations. This collection is an absorbing rendition of a playwright's voice, and the format is well suited to the reader's edification. Recommended for all theater collections and libraries that don't own any of the author's other plays.
