Playwright David Ives's followup collection to the awardwinning collection All in the Timing pushes his gift for wacky oneact comedy to new heights: two mayflies on a date realize they have only twentyfour hours to live; a washingmachine repairman falls in love with a perfect washer (should he tell his girlfriend?); an outofwork shmo decides to spend his day being painter Edgar Degas; two Babylonian bluecollar workers have to build the Tower of Babel or else. Zany, thoughtprovoking, and always original, this anthology brings together all the oneacts from the OffBroadway hit Mere Mortals and from the allnew Lives of the Saints, as well as several new and uncollected plays, including Bolero, Arabian Nights (which premiered at the celebrated Humana Festival in Louisville), The Green Hill, and Captive Audience.
