The Meta Plays by Andrew Biss PDF Summary

Book Description: A collection of short comedic plays that take theatrical conventions on a metaphysical joyride. This unique compilation of wittily inventive short comedies can be performed by as few as 4 actors or as many as 18, all with minimal set and prop requirements. Many of these plays have gone on to receive highly successful productions around the world, garnering awards and glowing reviews along the way. For actors and audiences alike, the eight uproarious plays included in this collection will surprise and delight as they defy expectations and turn theatrical tropes on their head. Theatre will never be the same! The plays included are The Craft, A Flawed Character, The Skewed Picture, Filler, The Curious Art of Critique, What's the Meta?, A Rebel Among the Wretched and Tacked-On Ending. "If ever there was a poster boy for 'write what you know', it's Biss, because what he knows really does entertain us." -Views from the Gods, London Reviews: "The Craft - a hysterical two-hander about two mutually loathing actors playing a scene with their every inner thought being spoken out loud. I loved it, it was immediate, punchy writing and crucially extremely witty." - There Ought To Be Clowns, London "The highlight was 'The Craft' by Andrew Biss...I laughed so heartily that my sides ached and now just thinking about pandas brings back a chuckle..." - Views from the Gods, London "Theatrical crack... One hell of a good time...In a truly esoteric stint, 'What's the Meta?' offers up a conversation between the words that make up two different characters in a play...making me speechless." - OC Weekly "Andrew Biss's script (Filler) is a really fun idea, which sees Shane and Tatyana suspect they aren't the most important people on stage. When Tatyana points out, 'this scene is completely unnecessary to the arc of the overall story' it all starts to get a bit meta, drawing inspiration from Beckett." - Views from the Gods, London "Change can't come soon enough for the two characters mired in Andrew Biss' 'The Craft', the night's last and funniest piece" - The Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel "The marvelous 'The Craft'...A hilarious insight into the inner dialogue these characters are having on stage as they are acting in a play." - The Public Reviews, London
