The beauty of one act plays is: there’s one act not followed by another. The playwright says what she intends to say, real brief and no one bored. PLUS: sampler plate opportunities. Hit up Dwinelle next week for a one-act trio: three acts, three plays by 20th century writers including Eugene Ionesco, Suzan Lori-Parks, Samuel Becket, Harold Pinter, Maria Irene Fornes and, yes, Gertrude motherf*ckin Stein.
The event is called “Silences and Situations: Seven One Act Plays.” You’ve got three combo choices and they all look real poignant. They take place Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of next week in the afternoon and evening in the Durham Studio Theater (somewhere) in Dwinelle Hall. It is sponsored by the Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies. Check out the full schedule here!

I just saw Program C today, and the Stein piece was, as you put it, “motherf*ckin.”
