The one-act play stands apart as a distinct art form with some well known writers providing specialist material, among them Bernard Shaw, Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter, Caryl Churchill. Alan Ayckbourn, Edward Albee and Tennesee Williams. There are also lesser-known writers with plenty of material to offer, yet sourcing one-act plays to perform is notoriously hard. This companion is the first book to survey the work of over 250 playwrights in an illuminating A-Z guide. Multiple styles, nationalities and periods are covered, offering a treasure trove of compelling moments of theatre waiting to be discovered. Guidance on performing and staging one-act plays is also covered as well as essential contact information and where to apply for performance rights. A chapter introducing the history of the one-act play rounds off the title as a definitive guide.

Justin Ebberson was 26 years old and came from a working-class family in Bolton. In 1958 Justin had two strokes of luck, three if you include Jean Baxter, a girl that he fell in love with. The first stroke of luck came in the form of a house that was left to him on Roa Island, near Barrow-in-Furness and the second was a job that fell in his lap with the only firm on the island, Isherwood & Son, Photo-Etching Specialists. Isherwood & Son introduced Justin to Jean Baxter, the love of his life, and a womanising Deputy Managing Director in the form of Commander RN (Rtd) Rupert Isherwood who brought emotional chaos into their lives, the outcome of which could not be foreseen. Justin constantly struggled to stay in control of events but was it all worth it? Only time would tell.

Quite often A. David Brown had intended to finally consult a doctor. The professional stress on an English teacher at a private language school threatened to get out of hand. However, the first stroke beat him to it. After that nothing was the same as it was before. A long period of suffering began with many unreasonable demands. However, Brown did not resign, he became creative. He took part in and, also, directed plays. He wrote poetry and short stories. He did not even let himself be stopped from traveling, he visited fascinating Cornwall and flew twice to his homeland, the USA. At times factual, at times anecdotal, A. David Brown tells about his tribulations and his difficulties of rehabilitation, but also about his many supporters, above all, his wife and all the lovely things which he could enjoy despite his misery. Sentimentality is just as strange to him as grim heroic behaviour. A. David Brown's story gives evidence of his sincere gratitude, love of life and the love between him and his wife. Eighteen wonderfully touching poems written by him accompany his story. This book encourages many not to let things get one down, neither illness nor handicaps.

M3 or 4, F1 or 2. Various simple settings. Emma Tyler is mourning the sudden and unexpected death of her husband, Joe. But all is not as it seems and, in a nearby hospital morgue, something stirs. Enter Detective Inspector Monroe - last memorably seen in Forget-me-Knot, the grumpy, beleagured detective soon finds himself right in the middle of another mystery which threatens to unhinge his sanity. How did Joe manage to walk out of his own post-mortem? Where is the mysterious Doctor Branovic? How did the toaster get dented on both sides? Why has Monroe got a hole in his right hand? And, most crucially of all, does Emma Tyler really own a cat? Throughout this highly unusual romp, the audience often know far more than the characters. But can they possibly see what's coming?
