In this book you will find fifty terrific new ten-minute plays, all successfully produced during the 2011-2012 theatrical season. They are written in a variety of styles, some realistic, some are not, some comic, some are dramatic. The ten-minute play form lends itself well to experimentation in style. Also included, for the first time, a comprehensive list of theaters which do ten-minute plays. For over thirty years, Lawrence Harbison was charge of new play acquisition for Samuel French, Inc., during which time his work on behalf of playwrights resulted in the first publication of such subsequent luminaries as Jane Martin, Don Nigro, Tina Howe, Theresa Rebeck, Jose Rivera, William Mastrosimone, Charles Fuller, and Ken Ludwig, among many others. He is now a freelance editor, primarily for Smith and Kraus, Inc. For many years, he wrote a weekly column on his adventures in the theater for two Manhattan Newspapers. His new column, On the Aisle with Larry, is a weekly feature on the Smith and Kraus website.
