The annual Marathon of One-Act Plays has made Ensemble Studio Theatre one of the most important showcases for one-acts in the country. This selection has been taken from four Marathon evenings. In VERMONT SKETCHES, Pulitzer Prize–winner David Mamet proves once again that he is a major poet of American vernacular. ARIEL BRIGHT concerns a romantic fantasy set in the past in a funeral parlor. In SAXOPHONE MUSIC two down-and-out fellows share a seedy apartment. When one learns to play the saxophone, it appears that his fortunes might change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon ARIEL BRIGHT:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Miss Long follows her two characters on an endearing flight of fancy—the play is both a love story and a fantasy.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMel Gussow, The New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon SAXOPHONE MUSIC:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“…a wistful, worm-turns comedy about the underclass.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMel Gussow, The New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Play Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49778525765872,"sku":"9780881450309","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780881450309_p0.jpg?v=1780090640","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780881450309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
