Here, in our 18th collection, are 10 One Act Plays for your enjoyment. They range from a 1663 Moliere to a 1922 Percival Wilde, from “a fairly silly Victorian romantic comedy” to a high stakes Game of Chess for lethal stakes: all short gems to make you laugh, cry, think, or all three. (Note that Flanner died in 1997 and Wilde died in 1953. These plays are not PD for listeners in some countries.) – Summary by ToddHW
