Take Ten
by Eric Lane, Nina Shengold

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, thirty-two of our finest playwrights hone their skills on a form that has been called the haiku of the American stage.

The plays that Nina Shengold and Eric Lane have collected in this volume range from monologues to an eight-character farce.

Eminently producible, ideally suited for the classroom and audition, Take Ten is a marvelous resource for teachers and students of drama, as well as a stimulating read for lovers of the theatre.

Contributors include: John Augustine, Cathy Celesia, Laura Cunningham, Joe Pintauro, Mary Sue Price, Megan Terry, Jose Rivera, Romulus Linney, David Mamet, Jane Martin, David Ives, and many others.
