Summary:

"These eleven one-act plays present the major figures of the modern theatre in an art form that demands from the dramatist the best he has to give in vigor and intensity. They conduct the reader on an historical tour of the modern play, from the naturalism of Strindberg to the intellectual drama of Pirandello; from the lyrical drama of Saroyan to the social drama of Tennessee Williams; from the verse of Yeats and MacLeish to the theatre of the absurd of Ionesco."--Page 4 of cover
