This is the collection of shorts we're doing for dinner theatre - I found them for the most part highly amusing, particularly Time Flies, Soap Opera, Degas C'est Moi, and Bolero. This was an interesting group of widely varied plays, as I'm come to expect from Ives. A few, however, left me unmoved and unaffected whatsoever, though I must say this probably equals his previous collection, All in the Timing.

Playwright David Ives's follow-up collection to the award-winning collection All in the Timing pushes his gift for wacky one-act comedy to new heights: two mayflies on a date realize they have only twenty-four hours to live; a washing-machine repairman falls in love with a perfect washer (should he tell his girlfriend?); an out-of-work shmo decides to spend his day being painter Edgar Degas; two Babylonian blue-collar workers have to build the Tower of Babel -- or else. Zany, thought-provoking, and always original, this anthology brings together all the one-acts from the Off-Broadway hit Mere Mortals and from the all-new Lives of the Saints, as well as several new and uncollected plays, including Bolero, Arabian Nights (which premiered at the celebrated Humana Festival in Louisville), The Green Hill, and Captive Audience.
