Synopsis
The Best American Short Plays - 2009-2010
Published by Applause Books
There's also Avi Glickstein's Pair and a Spare which makes a clever comment on the failures of human connection and Death Comes for a Wedding, Joe Tracz' Kafkaesque vision of a personified Death demanding a bride as a sacrifice to avoid his wrath
And Samuel Brett Williams' The Trash Bad Tourist, which tells the story of three misfits living in despair in Arkansas a few years after Katrina
The volume ends with a set of seven plays which were produced together as a benefit for a multiarts center in New York
Collected under the title Seven Card Draw, they are separate and distinct pieces - "darkly comic tales about risk and reward" - and include monologues by Neil LaBute, John Guare, Clay McLeod Chapman and Daniel Gallant
