{"product_id":"out-on-a-limb-kit-brennan-9781897109557","title":"Out on a Limb: Short Plays by New Playwrights","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is the new generation of Canadian playwrights writing about? What makes them turn to theatre as the medium of choice? As they graduate from writing programs and intensives across the country, as they produce their work and take it to the festivals, what stories are they telling us?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis exciting anthology answers those questions. The writers come from theatre and creative writing schools across Canada, and the settings of their plays take us from large urban centres to small rural communities. Many of these new writers are young, some are not so young. These 12 short works by Canada's newest playwrights focuses on one-act plays that feature a small cast (one to three actors) and can be performed in under an hour. The characters range from sweet to unsettling, and all stops in between. The plays are witty and wise, and they are often hilarious. They offer fresh perspectives on universal problems: How do I find love? How should evil be dealt with? What do I do about loss? What makes a good person? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded are: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlmost, Again\u003c\/i\u003e by Briana Brown \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKiss Me Outside the Box\u003c\/i\u003e by Carmen Cartterfield \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMature Young Adults\u003c\/i\u003e by Wesley J.
