[audiobook] The Easy Forties Fake Book (Fake Books) by Hal Leonard in Arts-Photography

Description

(Best American Short Plays). "Sticks and stones may break my bones; but words will never hurt me." Really? Words can break spirits; destroy confidence. They can also build hope and incite great acts of heroism. Playwrights know this; and so do theater audiences. Otherwise; why go? Words matter and carry clout every bit as dangerous as a hammer or crowbar. This; too; playwrights know. The monologues in this volume are full of such blows; striking at our imaginations and our memories; generating responses such as joyful laughter or chilling surprise. Others squeeze us into worlds weve never experienced; or perhaps experienced at the furthest edges of memory and recollection. Still others may help us alter the way we see certain things; people; or beliefs. Best Monologues from The Best American Short Plays; Volume Three is a collection of monologues drawn from the popular Best American Short Plays series; an archive of works from many of the best playwrights active today. Long or short; serious or not; excerpts or entireties; this collection abounds in speech acts that may trigger physical reactions and almost certainly will transform an attitude or two; drawing out lost memories; creating new ones; and definitely entertaining; engaging; amusing us all along the way.
