Three One-Act Plays

Three delightful one-act plays set in and around New York in which sophisticated characters confound one another in ways only Woody Allen could imagine. Woody Allens first dramatic writing published in years Riverside Drive Old Saybrook and Central Park West are humorous insightful and unusually readable plays about infidelity. The characters archetypal New Yorkers all start out talking innocently enough but soon the most unexpected things ariseand the reader enjoys every minute of it (though not all the characters do). These plays (successfully produced on the New York stage and in regional theaters on the East Coast) dramatize Allens continuing preoccupation with people who rationalize their actions hide what theyre doing and inevitably slip into sexual deceptionall of it revealed in Allens quintessentially pell-mell dialogue.
