Book Reviews of Oh, Hell!: Two One Act Plays

Book Review: Excellent Read!
Summary: 5 Stars

There are two one-act plays in this book... Bobby Gould in Hell by David Mamet. It says that it premiered at the Lincoln Center in December 1989. William H. Macy played the INTERROGATOR. Well, the first review talks a lot about this play. I want to talk to you about the other play... The Devil and Billy Markham by Shel Silverstein. That's right, by the same Shel Silverstein that wrote Where the Sidewalk and Ends and A Light in the Attic. This play is absolutely hillarious. Billy plays a game of chance with the devil... he's has to role a 13 with two dice, which is of course impossible. The first time he loses his life and goes to hell... but the devil offers him a second chance, but this time the stakes are for the lives of his family. He takes the challenge... and you'll have to read it to find out the many twists and turns this play takes us through.
