Beschreibung

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

Über den Autor

Thornton Niven Wilder was an American author and writer who was born April 17, 1897, and died December 7, 1975. His books "The Bridge of San Luis Rey," "Our Town," and "The Skin of Our Teeth" won him three Pulitzer Prizes. His book "The Eighth Day" won him a U.S. National Book Award. Wilder was born in Madison, Wisconsin. His father, Amos Parker Wilder, was a newspaper editor and later a U.S. minister, and his mother, Isabella Thornton Niven, was a teacher. Wilder had five brothers, plus a twin who died before it was born. All of the Wilder children who are still alive spent some of their childhood in China while their father was U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong and Shanghai. The elder Wilder brother of Thornton became the Hollis Professor of Divinity at Harvard Divinity School. The field of theopoetics grew with the help of his work as a famous author. Isabel Wilder, their sister, was a great writer. It was their third sister; Charlotte Wilder was an artist and Janet Wilder Dakin was a zoologist.
