Synopsis

With the loosening of constraints on what may be discussed and portrayed in plays dealing with homosexuality, similar relaxation should be expected for heterosexual works. Within the bounds of good taste, of course. And taste, like time, alters. Hopefully, the time is now.

***

In an age of miniaturization, the one-act play should find itself at home.

People do attend concertized etudes, most often for the piano, and that is precisely what a one-act play is--an etude. Sometimes it's a character study, others a piece of action, still others a complete little story, and several strung together selectively can make a program.

About this title

About the Author

Robert Manns was born in Detroit, spent six years in New York where he received his first productions, moving later to Florida and eventually Atlanta. He wrote his first play when he was 19, his first poem when he was 21. He has taught dramaturgy at Emory University in Atlanta and, while director of Callanwolde Art Institute in that city, initiated the poetry readings still held today. Even before serving as field representative for the National Audubon Society, wildlife and environment had solidly manifested themselves in his writing.
