24 Hours - am
by Oliver Hailey, Writer's Workshop, The, Writers' Theatre

"The first half of an integrated program of twenty-four short plays. Conceived by playwright Oliver Hailey as a project for the writers workshop which he established in Los Angeles, 24 HOURS (AM & PM) developed from a request that each workshop member write a short five to ten-minute play dealing with events at a particular hour of the day or night. The result was a program of great variety and wide-ranging imagination, which went on to critical and popular success in its production by the Back Alley Theatre.   ”…It's thrilling to see that high quality entertainment can be produced in concentrated form.“ —Los Angeles Herald Examiner.   ”The variety displayed here is tremendous. From birth to death and everything in between, these writers have it covered.“ —Data-Boy Magazine.   ”What is encouraging is the refreshing and seemingly unlimited inventiveness displayed."
