Riassunto

Two mayflies on a date realize that they have a mere twenty-four hours to live and decide to seize life completely - if only they knew how. So begins Time Flies and Other Short Plays, a collection of thirteen witty and wildly original one-acts teeming with hilarious characters pondering life's metaphysical questions. In these plays, a washing machine repairman falls in love with a perfect washer (should he tell his girlfriend?); two Babylonian blue-collar workers have to build the Tower of Babel; a man decides to become the painter Edgar Degas for a day; and two women fashion a Polish-American funeral breakfast out of absolutely nothing.

Product Description:

Playwright David Ives's follow-up collection to the award-winning collection All in the Timing pushes his gift for wacky one-act comedy to new heights: two mayflies on a date realize they have only twenty-four hours to live; a washing-machine repairman falls in love with a perfect washer (should he tell his girlfriend?); an out-of-work shmo decides to spend his day being painter Edgar Degas; two Babylonian blue-collar workers have to build the Tower of Babel -- or else. Zany, thought-provoking, and always original, this anthology brings together all the one-acts from the Off-Broadway hit Mere Mortals and from the all-new Lives of the Saints, as well as several new and uncollected plays, including Bolero, Arabian Nights (which premiered at the celebrated Humana Festival in Louisville), The Green Hill, and Captive Audience.
