For over 60 years, The Best American Short Plays series has set the standard for excellence in one-act plays. In this latest edition, we are pleased to present a group of fresh-voiced, cutting-edge plays for the new millenium. Among the twelve plays included are Sheri Wilners poignant Relative Strangers, which chronicles a young womans yearning for the mother she never knew * Gary Sunshines lyrical Al Takes A Bride, in which two young southern women fantasize about marrying each other * Rosemary Moores The Pain of Pink Evenings, which charts the emotional terrain of a grieving young widow * Brian Silbermans Walkin Backwards, in which an outcast teenage boy runs away from home on the day of his mothers funeral * and Laurence Klavans darkly humorous The Summer Sublet, which probes an unexpected affair between a young man and his landlord. From 19th century Memphis to present-day Washington DC, from sexual politics to coming of age, the plays in this volume are sure to inspire, challenge and entertain.
