The Best American Short Plays 2001-2002: For Over 60 Years, the Standard Record of Excellence for One-Act Plays in America

From its inception, the Best American Short Plays annual has identified new, cutting edge playwrights who have gone on to establish their pre-eminence across America's stages. The collection proves year after year that the short play is not short on anything. It may be more brief than a "full-length" play, but it is no less complete, and no less gratifying to the audience and the reader. Among the dramatists who have appeared in our collections: Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee, CliVord Odets, William Inge, Arthur Miller, David Mamet, Wendy Wasserstein, Lanford Wilson, Terrence McNally and Thornton Wilder. In this latest volume, readers will find plays by: David Ives, Murray Schisgal, Christopher Durang, Cherie Vogelstein, Rich Orloff, Lavonne Mueller, David Mamet, David Auburn, John Ford Noonan and Paul Zindel.
