Terrance McNally/Tony Kushner: Short plays?

Posted: 3/11/08 at 7:56pm

Does anyone know if either of these two esteemed gentlemen have written any short plays, in the 10-15 min. range? I've been able to find lists of works for them online, but not with approx. running times. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Try taking a look at this anthology. I'm not sure exactly how short is "short," for example I know they include THE RITZ which is definitely not 15-20 minutes but just check it out, see if there's anything there that might be appealing.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

You may want to check out Kushner's collection "Death and Taxes: Hydriotaphia and Other Plays" (TCG, 2000). It includes several of his short plays. My favorite is "Reverse Transcription: Six Playwrights Bury a Seventh."

McNally has a wonderful short play called "Andre's Mother." It's absolutely beautiful.

I directed a production of it last December.
