Thornton Wilder’s Classic One Acts
Thornton Wilder Price: $10.95
"If God were to dabble in anthropology, and the recording angels to write with wry humor and infinite tolerance of human folly, this is how the holy books would read" ~ The New York Times
This collection of six of Wilder's most famous one-act plays includes ...
The Long Christmas Dinner
The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden
Pullman Car Hiawatha
Queens of France
Such Things Only Happen in Books
Love and How to Cure It
In these mini-masterpieces, Wilder experiments with techniques and dramatic forms he would later develop in his celebrated full-length works
Among these plays we encounter a first glimpse of Wilder's Stage Manager; his use of pantomime, minimal scenery, and farce; as well as his signature connection between the commonplace and the cosmic dimensions of the human experience
"Queens of France ... is done with such a superbly delicate, light touch as to make it sheer delight" ~ The Chicago Tribune
"A laugh at sex is a a laugh at destiny. And the stage is peculiarly fitted to be its home" ~ Thornton Wilder's Journal entry on Love and How to Cure It
