Synge comes to mind pr..."Riders to the Sea" by J.M. Synge comes to mind pretty quickly as a good example, but that could just be because it was our first directing project in my college directing class. Of course, it's an older play having been first performed around 1904. <BR/><BR/>I found Mamet's "No One Will Be Immune" to be pretty great short work as well, and Harold Pinter's "One For The Road" I've both read and seen performed is a brilliant 30 minute play about torture and interrogation. <BR/><BR/>All of these plays WORK as full plays, and don't leave you feeling as if you've seen something truncated or not-fully-developed. They're perfect as they are. In the end, none of them are about minimalism, though. They're about being only as long as they need to be in order to be complete.Philuciferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677432259206550338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902716.post-12807486837041639542007-11-12T12:39:00.000-08:002007-11-12T12:39:00.000-08:00"Mountain Language" by Harold Pinter is very good...."Mountain Language" by Harold Pinter is very good.Zack Calhoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149127656270202596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902716.post-5819005607179743572007-11-12T11:58:00.000-08:002007-11-12T11:58:00.000-08:00Could you clarify what you mean by minimalism?(I k...Could you clarify what you mean by minimalism?<BR/><BR/>(I know a bit about the "Minimalist" movement in visual art, but not much about the word as it relates to theatre.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway. We did Eugene Ionesco's short one-act <I>The Lesson</I> at this year's Toronto Fringe. I thought the text was awesome.<BR/><BR/>IanIan Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727310049818117273noreply@blogger.com
