Dramatists Play Service is pleased to announce the publication of:
BAPTIZED TO THE BONE by Dave Johnson“2004 Outstanding New Play!” —Dallas/Fort Worth Theatre Critics Forum. “Taking risks…mixing a couple of potent ingredients, religion and sex.” —Dallas Morning News.
LIFE IS SHORT by Craig PospisilThis hilarious collection of short plays is a comical look at relationships from childhood to old age. Some are charming and light, others dark and absurdist, but all eight gleefully portray people at their worst. And sometimes their best. These short plays can be performed separately or as a single evening of theater. “Pospisil knows how to write funny dialogue.” —Times-Union (Rochester). “Craig Pospisil mines the everyday for universal truths.” —Oakland Press.
MEN'S SINGLES (Revised Edition) by D.B. Gilles"Ladies and gentlemen, walk right up and meet a HIT…a stirring explosion of humor with laughs a mile a minute. A probing, insightful look at three men…Gilles' play is bound to be discussed and seen over and over." —Drama-Logue. "…an excellent script…Gilles ably and entertainingly tells the progress of each of these men's lives." —Daily Variety.
MODERN ORTHODOX by Daniel Goldfarb“Daniel Goldfarb has written an adorable romantic comedy—with honest to G-d belly laughs—about love and sex and faith and friendship.” —Variety. “The place of conservatism in the modern world can be a polarizing topic. In MODERN ORTHODOX, Daniel Goldfarb’s entertaining new play, it also happens to be a potent source of comedy…Goldfarb’s writing hints at classic comedy films of the 1940s or 1950s, with some exchanges seeming as though they could have been written for Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn…” —A.P.
NICKEL AND DIMED by Joan Holden, based on the bestseller Nickel and Dimed, on (Not) Getting by in America by Barbara Ehrenreich “…undeniably provocative…One can’t see this stage version without questioning an economy in which poor people subsidize the lifestyle of the middle and upper classes.” —Variety. “Daring…attacks the privileges of 90% of the people who will see it…Ehrenreich’s irrepressible sense of humor admirably translated from page to stage.” —LA Times. “Involving, important and urgently topical.” —Philadelphia Inquirer. “Penetrating clarity and sharp, illuminating humor…succeeds beautifully in creating the wearying reality of dead-end jobs and the people trapped in them.” —San Francisco Chronicle.
