It's Almost All Broadway Tonight.

We have 7 Plays listed tonight (actually more), mostly from Broadway, a few that started out in London and migrated back to Broadway. We are liquidating a collection of plays going back decades so if you like these there are more in the "Play" section of our Hi-Tech-And-Antique eBay Store. The highlight of the collection is Glengarry Glen Ross that is giving our proof-readers some fitful reading because of the unusual spelling of the title. It was rewritten from the London/Broadway version given here into a movie version starring Jack Lemmon and Al Pacino among other notables. It is about some real-estate salesmen who cuss at each other nearly non-stop throughout the play. The movie had a similar drift, so if you have sensitive sensibilities or are easily offended, this is perhaps not the book for you.

The Three Plays by Thornton Wilder include "Our Town" which is reputed to be the most frequently produced play in America. It also won the Pulitzer Prize. It is offered along with "The Matchmaker" and "The Skin of Our Teeth" in the same volume.

The "Shirley Valentine" play is also combined in one volume with a second play, "One for the Road". Plays are great reading for anyone who likes to write, because you can see the essence of how the scripts are put together without being distracted by the acting which comes in movies and DVDs.

While the "19th Century Romanticism in Music" probably won't have a whole lot of Blogger World interest in this space (though there are a few of you out there, we know), there might be some more interest in the general population of visitors who might drift in during the near future, so we give the book a little nudge here in the text part of the description, because it actually contains little snippets of scores in the text for those who are musically literate. Life is so much richer when classical music is around. We have stacks of classical CD's when we want to take a break from our Bhangra Hip-Hop selections.
