About this title

Synopsis

Eight of Suzan Zeder's plays, each widely produced and popular, are in this anthology, a collection of her first works for stage. Zeder is one of the most imaginative playwrights of her generation, and is best known for the depth and dimension of her child protagonists, the bold handling of contemporary themes and issues. She is theatrically exciting and surprising. Here are the titles for which she is famous - STEP ON A CRACK, WILEY AND THE HAIRY MAN, DOORS, MOTHER HICKS. Here are her well-crafted adaptations - - OZMA OF OZ, THE PLAY CALLED NOAH'S FLOOD. And here are recent works -- OTHER DOORS, IN A ROOM SOMEWHERE. They range from comedy to drama, realism to fantasy, uniquely blending styles and themes. For these reasons, among many, she early received the coveted Chorpenning Cup from the Children's Theatre Association of America. Twice her plays have been named for the Distinguished Play Award of the American Association of Theatre for Youth.

About the Author

Editor Davis, an authority on the works and writing of Zeder, brings her considerable skills as a theatre producer, and drama scholar, to her insightful introduction, and brief critical essays to each play. These will be helpful to every stage director, to playwrights, and to all who will read this volume as dramatic literature.
