Description: From Library Journal
Following a successful first volume published in 1995, HenifordAa drama teacher and librarianAhas compiled a second volume that serves as a guide to 2200 one-act plays with fewer than five cast members. The new volume has been expanded by 25 percent. Improvements over the first volume include a synopsis of each play in the author index or main entry section. Additional information about each playAincluding genre, theme, cast size, availability of scripts (sometimes with an Internet address), and often reviews or comments from other sourcesAis included in the main entry section. There is also a cast/gender and title index. A number of the playwrights listed may be better known for full-length plays or other works (e.g., A.R. Gurney, Wendy Wasserstein, Moss Hart, Barry Schisgal, O. Henry). Heniford, who has made small-cast one-act plays his life's work, also offers a web site (www2.scescape.com/heniford) that contains some of the same material included here. This volume will be of use in libraries whose clientele have an interest in producing one-act plays and wherever the web site is not sufficient.AChristine E. Bulson, SUNY at Oneonta Lib.
