ScriptaokeOne-Act Plays by Modern Authors
by Helen Louise Cohen (ed.) from 1914
About
This 1921 anthology of modern one-act plays, edited by Columbia University professor Helen Louise Cohen, collects short plays by O'Neill, Synge, Maeterlinck, Chekhov, Strindberg, and others — the international canon of the little theater movement assembled for classroom use. The collection was widely used in university drama programs in the 1920s and functioned as an introduction to modern dramatic literature for an entire generation of American students. Individual plays of high quality are embedded throughout, making this a valuable selection anthology.
