The fifty new plays in this volume are excellent examples of well-written 10-minute plays.  Writing a good 10-minute play is harder than you think.  There’s no time to court and flirt with your audience.  You need to engage them immediately to get through a complete, riveting story.  These plays are timely, cutting edge, thrilling pieces of theatre, with a bit of surprise and absurdity thrown in for good measure!  These scripts have the ability to wrench your heart, make you laugh, or ponder what it all means.  This dynamic collection of plays is full of diverse characters and challenging situations.  Thirty-two of the scripts are for two characters, the rest for three or four actors.  These are great pieces to read, act in, and hopefully produce, with current, up-to-date information for acquiring production rights in the back of the book.
