In Richard Peck’s plays we instantly come face-to-face with the characters and gather powerful impressions, an immediate, fast-acting reaction, totally different from the way books are written and read. It’s a welcome, fast-reading change from fiction. You’ll love [Four One-Acts].” - C.F. ROE, author of Berlin Rules
Richard Peck’s talent for witty, unusual characters is highlighted in these four, one-act plays. Each offers a surprise, not only in the plot, but also in the delightful way he ushers his characters through the minefield of relationships and problems. It would be such a joy to perform one . . . of these scripts! - PATRICIA SMITH WOOD, author of The Easter Egg Murder, Finalist for the 2013 NM/AZ Book Awards
Bemused characters, distinctive settings, and unsettling circumstances provoke laughter in these plays. Beneath the ribald comedy, they illuminate the essential humanity of their characters and the complexities of the human condition.” - WILLIAM F. HALLORAN, Dean Emeritus, U. Wisconsin, Milwaukee
“Richard Peck’s delightful plays . . . free our minds from their usual cares. Each . . . is so carefully crafted . . . I particularly liked “Bathnight,” . . . Peck’s lighthearted and entertaining comedy. - S.S. BAZINET, author of The Vampire Reclamation Project
