A collection of seven comedies and dramas by an American playwright. THE ROSE PRINCESS, THE GOLDEN GOBLIN, and FROGGY are fairy tales for slightly depraved children. All three have quasi-medieval settings, and are sassy, irreverent, and fun to perform. REHEARSING DON QUIXOTE is a comedy of students being enlisted in a new version of Don Quixote--only to drive their teacher to distraction. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, based on a story by Arlo Bates, focuses on three women mourning the death of their "fiancé" during the Civil War--only to discover that he's not quite dead yet! CHRISTMAS AT THOMPSON HALL, based on a tale by Anthony Trollope, is an interesting portrait of Victorian prudishness. Finally, ROBERT THE DEVIL is an historical drama telling of the salvation of a cursed medieval duke. Great drama--great comedy--often comes in small packages!
