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