Truly the Best of the BestBy Scott HeywardThis is a fantastic collection of the best one-act plays from very talented and expressive American playwrights. Highlights include Joe Maruzzos wonderfully poignant "Bricklayers Poet;" the witty and vulnerable "The Perfect Relationship" by Jill Elaine Hughes; and Cary Peppers challenging and confrontational "House of the Holy Moment." As good as all the plays are; the very best is Jay Hulings bombastic and laugh-out-loud funny "Elvis of Nazareth." Huling places his Elvis Presley in a biblical fantasy that manages to show both reverence and near-blasphamy in almost the same breath. Other impressive playwrights in this work include Murray Schisgal; who wrote the screenplay for the motion picture "Tootsie;" Theodore Mann; who co-founded New Yorks famous Circle in the Square Theatre; and the often-produced and multi-award winning Laura Shaine. All of these plays -- from Jay Hulings "Elvis of Nazareth" to Jeni Mahoneys very witty "Light" would make an excellent evening of theatre that would entertain and inspire audiences. At the very least; its an enjoyable and easy read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Highly Entertaining Plays That Are Easy to ProduceBy Glenn TylerEvery one of these short plays hits a homerun in their own way. And they all need only a small cast; have uncomplicated sets; and offer very good roles for men and women. Outstanding works by Adam Kraar; Michael Roderick; and Rick Pulos. "Elvis of Nazereth" by Jay Huling was very funny; and I got to meet Mr. Huling at the Tennessee Stage Company when they were producing one of his more well-known comedies. If you are looking for plays that are a quick read; offer a variety of comedy and drama; and have a freshness from the most cutting-edge voices in American theatre; this book is a great choice.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
