Detective Sketches and Other Short Plays
Author(s):
Douglas Post
A new collection of five plays from Doug Post:
Detective Sketches (Trouble Is Eating My Pants). "An unabashed goof on every hard-boiled detective story from The Maltese Falcon to Chinatown." (The Reader, Chicago) "The B-movie scenario, straight from Central Scripting, weaves a web of evil around a ton of four-star stereotypes; it yields at least two guffaws a minute." (The Windy City Times) Unit set.
Escape from Groovytown (5m., 5w.)
"a modern Twilight Zone piece about a yuppie who tries to escape the gentrification of his neighborhood and himself." (The Reader, Chicago) "A funny, paranoid attempt to escape Philip Glass, mimosas, dry-cleaned shirts with medium starch, the expression 'lovely,' and other big-shoulders young-moneyed pretensions." (New City) Unit set.
At Night in the Asylum (5m., 5w.)
"A haunting choral reading piece that equates the fears of the inhabitants of a city dwelling with those of a madhouse." (The Reader) "It does for an urban highrise what Edgar Lee Masters did for the town of Spoon River." (Chicago Sun-Times) Unit set.
Falling Through the Cracks (1m., 1w.)
A comedy about a woman who is almost homeless confronting her son on the subway. One int. set.
Somewhere on the Coast of Belize (2m., 1w.)
A comedy about two men from Manhattan attempting to unload their barge of garbage on a third-world power.
