Book Reviews of Take Ten: New 10-Minute Plays
Book Review: Borrow from the library
Summary: 3 Stars
From a playwright perspective, while this is an interesting collection of work, it isn't the type of book that you'd want to come back to over and over again. Many of the plays seem dated and they are certainly a reflection of the editors prejudices, for good or bad. Lots of NY-centric stuff along with a swath of the Louisville Festival-type play. As a snapshot of the ten-minute play, this is a valuable collection to read through and learn from. However, many of the plays aren't interesting enough, or innovative enough, to really take up space on your own bookshelf. Borrow this from the library, read it over and take away what you can.
Summary of Take Ten: New 10-Minute Plays
A ten-minute play is a streak of theatrical lightning. It doesn't last long, but its power can stand your hair on end. This splendid anthology contains enough wattage to light up a small city. For in its pages, 32 of our finest playwrights hone their skills on a form that has been called the haiku of the American stage.Acting & Auditioning Books
