Book Reviews of 200 More Neo-Futurist Plays (30 Plays in 60 Minutes)
Book Review: Unsure
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm unsure what to make of this collection. On the plus side, these plays, many less than a page long, are punchy and incisive. They pack a mighty wallop. Many are theatrical gems that capture nuggets of power without descending into SNL gimmickry. Their humor and pathos make me as a trained actor want to join their troupe.
But most are so symbolic, high-flown, or arty-farty that they put the lie to the claim that these are real events. And without that authenticity, what do the performers have other than the stunt of packing thirty plays into sixty minutes? When you read the scripts off the flat page, the shine goes off that apple in a real hurry.
There's a reason many revue scripts never get printed: they just don't work as literature. That's true here, too. Though I appreciate the concept, and this book is almost worth its price for the manifesto appended to the front, I have a hard time on balance wanting to go back and reread them. Perhaps I should just go see the show.
