“The Plays” by Joshua James

Screenwriter and playwright Joshua James has a new book out called The THE Plays: Six Short Works by Joshua James. The plays are:

THE FIGHT (2m, one set, fifteen minutes) — A small man does his utmost to pick a fight with a much larger man.

THE DANGER (1m,1f) — A housewife has had it with her secure and quiet husband, her very safe and predictable life, and decides to tell him she’s leaving. 

THE PAP (1m, 1f) — A young lady in a hurry for her pap gets a young doctor on his first day.

THE ITCH (2m, 1f) — Two quadriplegics bicker with each other as their nurse referees.

THE RACE (1m, 1f) — A married couple lay in bed on a late evening, drunk and happy, and wish to have sex but are too tired to move.

THE VIEWING (2m, 1f, one set, twenty minutes) — A priest, and art critic and a beautiful painter match wits at a funeral-slash-performance art show.

Personally I think “The Race” is worth the price of admission, but they all sound great. You can find out more here.
