3 ten-minute plays: "Reality Book Group", "Room with Maintenance", & "Bluefish"
Dr. Richard Grossman:
Hi everybody,
Here are two 10-minute plays that come highly recommended (ok, I wrote them)! From the e-publisher description:
Two layered, mischievous 10-minute plays to laugh about and think about.
What's more important: the book or the members? In "Reality Book Group", three college professors invite a book loving ex-con to join them. Selected from 53 plays written by New England's premier playwrights, "Reality Book Group" was top-billed in the Boston Globe and performed at the 2012 Boston Theater Marathon. A local favorite among book clubs in the Boston area, the play will be print-published in Boston Theater Marathon XIV, 2012 Anthology (Smith & Kraus).
"Room with Maintenance" is the author's latest play. A crude carpenter and an intellectual with a swollen leg find themselves locked in a room together after they die. Each reminds the other of his ex-wife. Are they in Heaven, Hell, or someplace entirely different? Why were they "placed" together? And who's going to fix the broken toilet? Brace yourself for an intimate view of the postmodern afterlife!

Not recommended for those offended by “adult” language (both plays)--or irreverence (Room with Maintenance)!
Definitely (according to those who know me best--including my patients) my voice! For better and for worse. :wink:
All reviews are welcome!

Dr. Richard Grossman:
By the way, if you’re an aspiring playwright, or someone who loves plays, the Boston Theater Marathon ( http://www.bu.edu/bpt/btm.html )is a terrific event held every year. Anyone (who lives in New England) can submit up to two 10-minute plays. And anyone can pick up a packet of 10 plays and rate them. Over 400 plays were submitted this year. The 100 plays with the highest scores make it to the final round, where the plays are judged and rated by New England theater professionals. The top 50 (53 in 2012) are performed, one after another, by New England theater companies on a Sunday afternoon/evening in May. New England playwright luminaries, e.g. Israel Horovitz, Robert Brustein, etc. almost always contribute plays. Proceeds go to charity. Kate Snodgrass, the BTM’s founder and director, has done a terrific job in making the event both fun and successful. If you’re able to go, I highly recommend it! And if you're a New England writer, why not enter?
