Highlights
Synopsis
This anthology by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Thornton Wilder is a collection of twenty-two very short plays, three of which are published here for the very first time.
These snapshots of the creative spirit at play explore a variety of complex characters that range from the ordinary to the biblical, the haunted to the mystical.
From the tale of a conflicted composer with a strangely familiar tune stuck in his head ( The Song of Maria Bentedos ), to a pair of newlyweds who find themselves bizarrely affected by the color of their hotel's tea room ( Flamingo Red: A Comedy in Danger ), all these tales -- many told with great wit and humor -- ask the thought-provoking questions of mortality, morality, and faith that Thornton Wilder is famous for asking.
