The Ensemble Studio Theatre Marathon `84 - Paperback
Description
by David Mamet (Author), Bill Bozzone (Author), Katharine Long (Author)
This collection includes three short plays: VERMONT SKETCHES by David Mamet, SAXOPHONE MUSIC by Bill Bozzone, and ARIEL BRIGHT by Katharine Long. The annual Marathon of One-Act Plays has made Ensemble Studio Theatre one of the most important showcases for one-acts in the country. This selection has been taken from four Marathon evenings. In VERMONT SKETCHES, Pulitzer Prize-winner David Mamet proves once again that he is a major poet of American vernacular. ARIEL BRIGHT concerns a romantic fantasy set in the past in a funeral parlor. In SAXOPHONE MUSIC two down-and-out fellows share a seedy apartment. When one learns to play the saxophone, it appears that his fortunes might change.
on ARIEL BRIGHT:
"Miss Long follows her two characters on an endearing flight of fancy--the play is both a love story and a fantasy."
Mel Gussow, The New York Times
on SAXOPHONE MUSIC:
"...a wistful, worm-turns comedy about the underclass."
Mel Gussow, The New York Times
