Scramble!
ISBN: 9780881454376 / Angielski / Miękka / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A golf magazine is the setting for David Wiltse's farce on the intrigues of the office. "The editorial office of a golf magazine seems an unlikely place for a comedic farce. But it makes perfect sense in the context of SCRAMBLE By David Wiltse ... Actually, SCRAMBLE , isn't about golf at all; it's about a very typical small office and the Byzantine romantic intrigues that go on there. The fact that this office houses a golf magazine is merely secondary to the struggles over sex and power that are the real focus of the staff's interest. The play's title, SCRAMBLE , does owe a nod to a...

As the Beaver
ISBN: 9780881454321 / Angielski / Miękka / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

But tell people that Johnson doesn't settle for a late-night skit, that he develops a fully realized play that is at once hilarious,...

Somehow, he looked burdened rather than glorious, more worn-out than brave. Surely the memorial hadn't changed; it was me. I was coming from David Wiltse's new play and my head was full of questions about America's participation in that tragic, famously unnecessary conflict. A...
