A Mercy Killing & Nine Other Kick Ass One Acts - Paperback

by Michael Burdick (Author)

"A MERCY KILLING AND NINE OTHER KICK ASS ONE ACTS is a dynamic play anthology featuring ten previously produced, actor driven, dialogue driven, energy driven plays - each of which is simply infectious for performers and audiences alike. It is made up of a unique collection of comedies, dark comedies, theatre of the absurd and satire, perfect to utilize in college theatre departments, Equity theatres or even the more daring community theatre. Titles include "A Mercy Killing" (exploring the dysfunctional family life of a contract killer), "Hanging Out" (a five year relationship about anything but love), "Diggers" (asking what Hamlet would sound like if Shakespeare had written it today?) and "High Crimes and Subtle Deceptions" (a story of love, family, bank robberies, undercooked burgers and the lies that bring them altogether.) In a world jam-packed with everyone's new one act, A MERCY KILLING AND NINE OTHER KICK ASS ONE ACTS truly stands a brand apart.
