Description

Red Bull Theater - New York City's "most exciting classical theater" (Time Out NY) - offers the fourth volume of curated plays from its popular annual Short New Play Festival. This collection features 16 ten-minute plays of heightened language and classical themes from today's hottest writers, including commissions from established playwrights Tina Howe, Arthur Kopit, Dael Orlandersmith, and Doug Wright, along with winning entries by writers such as Rachel Leopold, Amanda Quaid, Anya Martin, and Christian Simonsen, chosen from a competition that receives nearly 300 submissions each year. In the hands of great playwrights, the ten-minute play is a highly entertaining dramatic form. These delightfully compact works - some downright silly, and others powerfully moving - are from the seventh and eighth years of Red Bull Theater's Short New Play Festival. Dive in and enjoy! Authors include: Charlotte Ahlin, Uriah Celaya, Frederick Dennehy, Justin Aaron Halle, Tina Howe, Arthur Kopit, Rachel Leopold, Anya Martin, Dael Orlandersmith, Jason Gray Platt, Amanda Quaid, Aubrey Saverino, Christian Simonsen, Samara Weiss, Daniel Wilson, Doug Wright.
