Description
NOT YOUR USUAL TALES – COLLECTION OF ONE ACT HORROR PLAYS
Not Your Usual Tales is a collection of one act horror plays, five in total, each of which has only four characters or less, that aren’t likely to be found in most of the play selections available. These are unusual plays that range from a young man contemplating suicide that is remarkably humorous considering the subject matter, to a monster in the basement, to a teenage girl put to a test by a Biblical being, to a family in a post apocalyptic world, to a couple carrying out a role play that goes a tad too far. They may be produced separately or as an evening of entertain- ment with an intermission in between, so the audience may talk about these unusual tales and their subject matter which I guarantee will encourage conversation afterwards. Enjoy!
