The one-act play stands apart as a distinct art form with some
well known writers providing specialist material, among them
Bernard Shaw, Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter, Caryl Churchill. Alan
Ayckbourn, Edward Albee and Tennesee Williams. There are also
lesser-known writers with plenty of material to offer, yet sourcing
one-act plays to perform is notoriously hard.
This companion is the first book to survey the work of over 250
playwrights in an illuminating A-Z guide. Multiple styles,
nationalities and periods are covered, offering a treasure trove of
compelling moments of theatre waiting to be discovered. Guidance on
performing and staging one-act plays is also covered as well as
essential contact information and where to apply for performance
rights. A chapter introducing the history of the one-act play
rounds off the title as a definitive guide.
