The Best Ten-Minute Plays 2015 (Best 10 Minute Plays)

Okay, I have enjoyed this annual publication of short plays from previous years but this 2015 edition is slipshod and appears untouched by an editor's hand. Several of the plays have dialogue of multiple characters combined with no indication of whose line it is (as an editing error and not the playwright's intent), typos abound, and text in many cases is formatted incorrectly. It is as though either this was published on a deadline and the plays were submitted so close to that deadline that they could not be reviewed and edited or the person responsible for the layout of the book was drunk and paralyzed while doing so. If this were my only example of these collections, it is such a jumbled mess that it would all but guarantee I would not purchase another.

I haven't read every ten-minute play of 2015 so I can't objectively say that these are, in fact, the best. But you will find a nice variety of collected plays, one of which is sure to interest you. Many of these are clever, and several are silly. All that I have read so far are fun. It's also super convenient that the plays are labeled by how many actors/characters are needed. This is a good read.

Excellent!

If these are the best of 201 a not a good year

Recieved on time. Nice variety of plays.

I look forward to this collection every year. I enjoy reading plays more than stories, the dialogue more than description. I especially appreciate the skill it takes to tell a story in ten minutes. Full disclosure: I am related to one of the playwrights. I do enjoy the work of others featured in this anthology.
