Published here for the first time, Six OneAct Plays follows the 2008 collection of Richard Harsham's Twelve Plays in Search of Their Characters that comprised longer works for the stage. Influenced by the dramatic rigors of Samuel Beckett and Harold PinterHarsham subscribes to the mea culpa Pinter offered at the time of his Nobel Prize acceptance 'I've often been asked how my plays come about. I cannot say. Nor can I ever sum up my plays, except to that this is what happened; that is what they said; that is what they did.' These oneact plays explore the human condition in cosmopolitan settings, revealing characters who work without benefit of a metaphysical safetynet and who inflict their needy sensibilities upon one another in a fragmentary world of scarce consolations and furtive urges. The sustaining illusion of permanence is subverted by the cosmic human existence, in the grand scheme, proves as fleeting as the crystalline snowflake that, after making its 'mark' lodged on winter's window pane, melts away, furrywhite sparkle gone into velvetyblack void....Harsham catches the irony of the unsolvable human mysterythat, as individuals, we are our own 'disappearing acts.' Like snowflakes, no two ever alike, ever again.
