Time Flies and Other Short Plays

David Ives is one of the few playwrights in America to maintain mainstream success with short plays. His previous ALL IN THE TIMING has been one of the most-produced evenings of short plays in America. TIME FLIES isn't quite up to that quality, but it's very close. A fun read, and a fun evening of theater.

Book in fine shape, exactly as described, relatively quick shipping - who could ask for more? I would definitely buy more books from them.

I admit to being a little concerned that "Time Flies" would fail to reach the spectacular heights Ives met with "All in the Timing." I should have had more faith.With "Time Flies," Ives is on familiar, solid ground, doing exactly what he does best. The title story is excellent, and I love "Degas, C'est Moi." "The Mystery at Twicknam Vicarage" is a great spoof of PBS drama and British theatre.But my faves are "Babel's in Arms," about the plight facing two ancient Babylonian workers called upon to build a tower reaching God, and "Soap Opera," about a man in love with his washing machine.If you'll pardon the pun, the plays in "Time Flies" show Ives is having fun.
