The annual Marathon of One-Act Plays has made Ensemble Studio Theatre one of the most important showcases for one-acts in the country. This selection has been taken from four Marathon evenings. In VERMONT SKETCHES, Pulitzer Prize-winner David Mamet proves once again that he is a major poet of American vernacular. ARIEL BRIGHT concerns a romantic fantasy set in the past in a funeral parlor. In SAXOPHONE MUSIC two down-and-out fellows share a seedy apartment. When one learns to play the saxophone, it appears that his fortunes might change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon ARIEL BRIGHT: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Miss Long follows her two characters on an endearing flight of fancy--the play is both a love story and a fantasy.\"\u003cbr\u003e Mel Gussow, The New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon SAXOPHONE MUSIC: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ..\".a wistful, worm-turns comedy about the underclass.\"\u003cbr\u003e Mel Gussow, The New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 1985\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737731731519,"sku":"9780881450309","price":22.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/151f6704b5177a0b4701c95facc76957.webp?v=1765150890","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/the-ensemble-studio-theatre-marathon-84-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
