Customer Reviews

A unique art form

Greg Allen is a master of a unique art form: 2-minute plays. Unlike film or television, these short plays are completely theatrical. They are also by turns heartbreaking, hillarious, and/or seriously thought-provoking. Highly recommended, especially for those who want to write or direct for the theatre.
