These snapshots of the creative spirit at play explore a variety of complex characters that range from the ordinary to the biblical, the haunted to the mystical. From the tale of a conflicted composer with a strangely familiar tune stuck in his head (The Song of Maria Bentedos) to a pair of newlyweds who find themselves bizarrely affected by the color of their hotel's tea room (Flamingo Red: A Comedy in Danger), all these tales--many told with great wit and humor--ask the thought-provoking questions of mortality, morality and faith that Thornton Wilder is famous for asking. Most of the plays run about four minutes in length, and can be presented with three actors. The entire collection can be presented with a cast ranging from six to 32 actors. 650 0 $a One-act plays, American. 830 0 $a Samuel French acting edition. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022836.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9EF528896FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
