What's the story behind this one? In keeping with the spirit of the
book we'll give it to you in five.THTH1. On any given day freely
circulated viral videos make waves across our society ayand we take
the time to consume them. The top trenders boast an average length
around five minutes.THTH2. Needless to say an average play runs far
longer (and costs much more). Accordingly we don't have the time
(or money) for theater.THTH3. Variety is the spice of life a
perhaps that's why the passive consumption of digital media runs
rampant. Sometimes you feel like something melodramatic; sometimes
you feel like something comedic. Sometimes you crave the firm
grounding of realism; sometimes you crave the sweet escape of
surreality. Sometimes you desire each of these things in rapid
succession within the course of a half hour. Whatever your mood
bite-sized bits of entertainment keep you covered.THTH4. At long
last the world of theater has caught up with the digital realm.
Five-minute plays and festivals abound a you can now plow through a
full-fledged performance in less time than it takes a busy barista
to make your grande chai latte skim with whip.THTH5. Seems you
suddenly EdoE have time for theatre.THTHWhether you're an actor
looking for a quick warm-up an instructor scrounging for tight
scene exercises or an everyday reader eager to speed-date some of
today's most talented playwrights E5-Minute PlaysE provides all the
theater you need without killing all the free time you have. Why
