Download or read book Six Short Plays written by Eugene O'Neill and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1965 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Short Plays Of Eugene O'Neill "I love life. But I don't love life because it is pretty. Prettiness is only clothes-deep. I am a truer lover than that. I love it naked. There is beauty to me even in its ugliness. In fact, I deny the ugliness entirely, for its vices are often nobler than its virtues, and nearly always closer to a revelation ....To me, the tragic alone has that significant beauty which is truth. It is the meaning of life -- and the hope. The noblest is eternally the most tragic. The people who succeed and do not push on to a greater failure are the spiritual middle-classers. Their stopping at success is the proof of their compromising insignificance. How petty their dreams must have been!"-- Eugene O'Neill, from the biography by Barbara and Arthur Gelb
Download or read book All in the Timing written by David Ives and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1994-11-08 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world according to David Ives is a very add place, and his plays constitute a virtual stress test of the English language -- and of the audience's capacity for disorientation and delight. Ives's characters plunge into black holes called "Philadelphias," where the simplest desires are hilariously thwarted. Chimps named Milton, Swift, and Kafka are locked in a room and made to re-create Hamlet. And a con man peddles courses in a dubious language in which "hello" translates as "velcro" and "fraud" comes out as "freud." At once enchanting and perplexing, incisively intelligent and side-splittingly funny, this original paperback edition of Ives's plays includes "Sure Thing," "Words, Words, Words," "The Universal Language," "Variations on the Death of Trotsky," "The Philadelphia," "Long Ago and Far Away," "Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue," "Seven Menus," "Mere Mortals," "English Made Simple," "A Singular Kinda Guy," "Speed-the-Play," "Ancient History," and "Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread."

There are plays for casts of all sizes, from monologues to large ensembles, with diverse and challenging roles for actors of every age and type. Even the titles are funny: Mark O'Donnell's "There Shall Be No Bottom (a bad play for worse actors)," Elaine May's "The Way of All Fish," and Alan Ball's "Your Mother's Butt." A bonanza for theatergoers, performers, and comedy fans, Laugh Lines will bring down the house. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Book excerpt: Six short plays performed between 2009 and 2019. "Potions and Pets" is a one-act comedy on the theme of "if your pets could talk." "One Step Braver" is the true story of Ellory Schempp's protest against the reading of Bible passages and The Lord's Prayer in his Abington, Pennsylvania, high school in 1956, which led to a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1962. "The Reunion that Wasn't" tells the story of an American veteran of World War II who returns to the town on Italy where he fell in love with a local girl, but his meeting with the girl-turned-woman forces him to face a picture of himself completely at odds with his self-image. "Remembrance" is a family story centered on a woman nearing death in a hospice, who talks for her nephew about the meaning of life and death, and who reveals a secret to her brother that makes him realize he isn't the only person dealing with unbearable memories. "Was Justice Served?" contrasts the actions of a World War II veteran who liberated a German prison camp with his court-martial for mistreating an SS officer. "Male Bonding" is a humorous look at the shallowness of men's emotional lives.
