Published by Dramatists Play Service

4 Male 7 Female

WAR - Two actors, one young, one old, and a bizarre lady, engage in a series of fantasy-like improvisations, articulating the relentless war that humankind is doomed to wage against harsh reality and the inexorable passage of time. (2 men, 1 woman,)

WHERE IS DE QUEEN? - A brilliant, haunting, and strikingly imaginative play, which illuminates the shadowy reaches of a man's dream-taking place in that brief but timeless moment between sleep and sudden wakefulness. (5 men, 4 women.)

ALMOST LIKE BEING - A delightfully acerbic spoof of the unreal world of show business and the fraudulent sentiment from which it is contrived. Successfully produced on the National Educational Television Network. (3 men, 2 women.)

THE HUNTER AND THE BIRD - Humorous, fantastic, and yet telling in its perceptions, this brief but arresting exercise in absurdist style delights and intrigues both by what is said and what is left unsaid. (1 man, 1 woman.)

I'M REALLY HERE - Gay Paris, a young American tourist, a dashing Italian guide, and romance-all handled with a marvelously stylized tongue-in-cheek approach which treats the play as if it were a movie being filmed. (1 man, 1 woman.)
