Book Synopsis Play In A Day - One Act Plays by : Darren Brealey
Download or read book Play In A Day - One Act Plays written by Darren Brealey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-05-17 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter what you call it, the entire artistic process from concept to curtain up happens in a 24-hour period in front of a paying audience; the scripts have yet to be written. The concepts have yet to be conceived. 30 Actors, 6 Writers and 6 Directors meet for the first time thriving on nervous excitement. The proceedings take place in the foyer of the theatre, where, in 24 hours, these gathered artisans will perform their hearts out, on stage. To keep this event true to its name, minimal information is disseminated to the gathering. The Actors need to bring with them; 1 piece of costume and 1 prop; no rules or instruction of what to bring, keeping it random. The Writers bring their laptops and for good measure, a dictionary. The Directors are armed with their true grit and open mind. On the stroke of nineteen-hundred hours, 42 artisans are hushed in front of the Producers. The rules are simple; write a script, approximately 10-minutes in length and give each Actor equal stage weighting.
Book Synopsis The One-Act Play Companion by : Colin Dolley
Download or read book The One-Act Play Companion written by Colin Dolley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The one-act play stands apart as a distinct art form with some well known writers providing specialist material, among them Bernard Shaw, Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter, Caryl Churchill. Alan Ayckbourn, Edward Albee and Tennesee Williams. There are also lesser-known writers with plenty of material to offer, yet sourcing one-act plays to perform is notoriously hard. This companion is the first book to survey the work of over 250 playwrights in an illuminating A-Z guide. Multiple styles, nationalities and periods are covered, offering a treasure trove of compelling moments of theatre waiting to be discovered. Guidance on performing and staging one-act plays is also covered as well as essential contact information and where to apply for performance rights. A chapter introducing the history of the one-act play rounds off the title as a definitive guide.

Book Synopsis The Indian Wants the Bronx by : Israel Horovitz
Download or read book The Indian Wants the Bronx written by Israel Horovitz and published by Dramatists Play Service Inc. This book was released on 1968-10 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STORY: An East Indian gets lost on his first day in New York as two teenage punks find him waiting at a lonely bus stop. He cannot understand English, and the boys have some fun with him-at least it starts out as fun. But little by little, as the minutes go by and the bus doesn't come, they get bored; then annoyed; then vicious. It is the very pointlessness of their brutality that makes the play-with its awful final image of the Indian jabbering into a dead phone-so disturbing. We are convinced that this is exactly what would happen at this particular bus stop on this particular night; we see, again, that violence in the big city is as much a child of ennui as of anger. And, as the nightmare spell of the play takes hold, and the boys torture their victim with increasing relish, we are brought to a shocking awareness of how thin the veneer of civilization can be-of how close beneath the surface of all men lurks the primitive impulse to hurt and humiliate those whose very helplessness and inability to communicate can only frustrate and enrage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How 24 Hours / Play In A Day Works No matter what you call it, the entire artistic process from concept to curtain up happens in a 24-hour period in front of a paying audience; the scripts have yet to be written. The concepts have yet to be conceived. 30 Actors, 6 Writers, and 6 Directors meet for the first time on a Friday night thriving on nervous excitement. The proceedings take place in the foyer of the theatre, where, in 24 hours, these gathered artisans will perform their hearts out, on stage. To keep this event true to its name, minimal information is disseminated to the gathering. The Actors need to bring with them; 1 piece of costume and 1 prop; no rules or instruction of what to bring, keeping it random. The Writers bring their laptops and for good measure, a dictionary. The Directors are armed with their true grit and open mind. On the stroke of nineteen-hundred hours, 42 artisans are hushed in front of the Producers. The rules are simple; write a script, approximately 10 minutes in length, and give each Actor equal stage weighting. The Producers check off the names of the gathered and place their names into three hats; 1 for Directors, 1 for Writers, and 1 for Actors. The process begins. The first random name to be chosen is 1 of the 6 Directors; to form the first group. Next, a random name from the Writer's hat. Finally, 5 random names from the Actors' hat form team 1. Teams 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 go through the same process until all artisans are in 6 groups. At the stroke of twenty-hundred hours, the Producers announce the theme of the event. All 6 Writers must base their play on this theme. The Actors show their 1 piece of costume and 1 prop to the Writer and Director. Each Team brainstorms the play's theme, incorporating the pieces of costume and props into the script. On the stroke of twenty-three hundred hours, it's time for the Directors and Actors to go home, to sleep, you have a big day ahead of you, rehearsing your lines that are about to be written. Writers: coffee, tea, and sugar lollies in hand, it's time to write your minimum 10-minute masterpiece to be performed on stage, tomorrow night. On the stroke of o-six-hundred hours the following morning, the Directors turn up to read their script; meanwhile, the Producers cook the Writers breakfast. This hour allows the Writer and Director to discuss the script and make minor changes or edit out those mid-morning typing mistakes. Time to print off the scripts, one for each Actor and one for the Director. On the stroke of o-seven-hundred hours, the Actors arrive to read through their script and discuss their characters and storyline with the Writer. They will be amazed at what you have created whilst they have been sleeping. On the stroke o-eight-hundred hours (and one-third of the 24 hours spent), the Writer goes home to sleep. The Director is now in charge of this fine 10-minute creation. Let the rehearsals begin. The Directors and Actors read through their scripts, discussing characters, storyline, convictions and methods, motivations and meanings and eventually, the Director plots the direction of the Actors. No need to worry, each of the 6 groups will be allowed technical time on the stage with the Stage Manager and the Lighting Manager, about twice should do it. Look out, here come nineteen-hundred hours again, only, it's now Saturday, and this time eagerly awaiting audience members are milling in the foyer of the theatre, dressed to the nines and feeding off the nervous excitement filling the air from the Actors and the Directors. Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, and the very tired Writers, please take your seats, as you're about to witness 6 shows that have never been written before and have never been seen before, and didn't exist, 24-hours ago. Who's exhausted?
Download or read book All in the Timing written by David Ives and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1994-11-08 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world according to David Ives is a very add place, and his plays constitute a virtual stress test of the English language -- and of the audience's capacity for disorientation and delight. Ives's characters plunge into black holes called "Philadelphias," where the simplest desires are hilariously thwarted. Chimps named Milton, Swift, and Kafka are locked in a room and made to re-create Hamlet. And a con man peddles courses in a dubious language in which "hello" translates as "velcro" and "fraud" comes out as "freud." At once enchanting and perplexing, incisively intelligent and side-splittingly funny, this original paperback edition of Ives's plays includes "Sure Thing," "Words, Words, Words," "The Universal Language," "Variations on the Death of Trotsky," "The Philadelphia," "Long Ago and Far Away," "Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue," "Seven Menus," "Mere Mortals," "English Made Simple," "A Singular Kinda Guy," "Speed-the-Play," "Ancient History," and "Philip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread."
