Customer Reviews:
5 out of 5 stars the book was useful in my classess in school.   October 18, 1999
63 out of 72 found this review helpful

The book was very cool. In fact it was so kooky that I could not put it down. I was able to use it in all of my eighth grade classess. I am a language arts teacher at Turlock Junior High, and it was extremly easy to find a 'cool' play that related to what we were learning at the time. I have been using this book for about 10 years now, and I have never grown old of it. My class this year has recently used it to put on a few short plays for the rest of the school.

I've had this book thrust upon me as a student over the past 7 years in middle and high school from Drama, English and Language teachers. It is a really good book- the plays vary from being abstract and bizarre to being thoughtful and introspective. If you're a student looking for a good quick play, a teacher looking for something to get your students to do, if you're just looking for some quick quirky one act plays- this is it.

Totally worth it!

Cannot find the Table of Contents for this book anywhere! Not here, not on the publisher's site. Just what plays would I find? And how long are they? One-act could be 5 minutes or an hour.

I would order it if I knew what the heck was in it. I'm a HS drama teacher. Can someone use Amazon to send me the TOC?

Thanks.



2 out of 5 stars not what I was hoping for   December 11, 2007

This wasn't what I expected. The choice of plays, with a few exceptions, was bland and poor.


1 out of 5 stars Dated and disappointing   October 4, 2008

I bought this book as a possible choice for a text for a university-level EFL course, but I found the material (with very few, and short, exceptions) to be of little interest and really quite dated.
