Editor reviews

Joyce Carol Oates has received acclaim from literary audiences for decades. In these two one-act plays she demonstrates her talent as a playwright. Performed by a full cast, these plays are produced by L.A. Theatre Works. Starring Edward Asner, Stephanie Dunnam, and more, both plays concern the trials and tribulation of contemporary Americans in a fast-changing world. Filled with biting political commentary and dark absurdism, these plays are a must for any fan of one-acts. Stephanie Dunnam's voice in particular shines in these short plays; it's clear why she has had such success on stage.
