Earnie's 2001 and Other Plays

By Dottie Simon Unger, Leslie Rice-Hart, Miriam Kalman Friedman PhD

This collection of Ten-Minute, One-Act, and Full-Length Plays represents a decade of play-writing in Friedman's writing career. They are humorous, absurd, poignant, and true to life. Some have been performed in local community theaters and public readings. Others are seen here for the first time. From the emotionally difficult "Discussion of the 'L' Word," to the zany, comical "Critics' Choice," that starts at the end of the play in question, these Ten-Minute plays stimulate an audience's definition of drama in the real world. The eccentric sisters in the Full-Length "Lunch," like the rivalry between sisters in "Mama's Mama's Diamond" and its South Asian version, "Nani-Ma's Diamond" evoke laughter, family "dramedy," and serious fun. The variety among the short and full-length situations expands our vision of the complexities of modern American life. The playwright/author at drmaris930@aol.com must authorize all productions.
