One-Act Play Collection 021 - Free Audiobook

[quote]Here, in our 21st collection, are 10 One Act Plays for your enjoyment. There are two plays from the 1700s, Congreve's "Judgement of Paris" and Handel's "Esther"; the remaining plays come from the early 1900s, with the whole collection bookended by a pair of one act plays by Sir Arthur Wing Pinero. All short gems to make you laugh, cry, think, or all three. (NOTE: Floyd Dell died in 1969, so the play "A Long Time Ago" is not PD for readers in Europe and/or Australia, and other countries which observe copyright of author's death +70 years.) - Summary by ToddHW
