Playlunch : Five Short New Zealand Plays
Paperback Edition: 1
First published in 1996 and now updated, this book contains plays by established New Zealand writers that were written for lunchtime theatre. They are informal one-act plays, lasting less than an hour, requiring little in the way of stage equipment and props, and suitable for a wide range of audiences.
Their condensed form gave their authors an opportunity to experiment with scripting and characterisation. Together, they represent a variety of perspectives and performance styles.The plays offered small 'adventures in theatre' for the writer, and continue to do so for directors, performers, audiences and readers.
Plays featured in this volume are:
The Private War of Corporal Cooper, John Broughton
The Rosenberg Sisters, Michelanne Forster
An Illustrated Death of Eddie Fivetrees, Simon O'Connor
Tiggy Tiggy Touch Wood, Renee
Chook Chook, Fiona Farrell
