Short hits of great theater

Anyone inteested in contemporary theater should pick up this book, either to put on the short plays or simply to read. The EST Marathon has become an important showcase of the best contemporary playwrights working in the U.S., and this latest installment in their series demonstrates the medium's vitality and the theater's commitment to it. Everyone will have their own favorites. There are better known people like Frank D. Gilroy, who is represented here by "The Golf Ball." There are also people like Bill Bozzone, who is truly one of the best writers exploring male and working class themes today. His play, "War," is alarmingly funny, haunting, and shocking -- typical of his best work. A must for anyone interested in contemporary theater.
