What can happen in ten minutes? Quite a lot, as you will discover in this thought-provoking collection of short plays. With keen insight about human relationships, emotional honesty that leaps off the page, and a flair for wicked humor, Elyce Melmon doesn't let the small size of a play stop her from tackling big subjects such as love, death, grief and rebirth. To enter the world of her plays is to step into a realm of ghosts, secrets and shifting identities. It is to find yourself wrapped up in a theatrical experience that will stay with you long after the curtain has gone down. -Will Dunne, Playwright and author of The Dramatic Writer's Companion
