Publisher's Synopsis
Selected from over a thousand blind submissions, this second volume of The Collective:10 Play Anthology features 12 original short plays that premiered as part of The Collective:10 Play Festival in New York City in October 2014. Also included is one unseen play selected exclusively for publication, PLUS a Q&A with many of the playwrights about their inspirations, the process and these particular plays. The works range from intense drama to hilarious farce, all brimming with truth and action - a provocative and engaging collection of relatable stories. These short plays were workshopped through The Collective, by its ensemble members and associate artists, in direct collaboration with the playwrights. The result is a collection of short plays that represent the spirit of accessibility, inclusion and development that have come to define The Collective. The dialogue starts now...
