Title: Not particularly stageable, not particularly interesting.
Product review: I purchased this with two other collections of short plays for teens to use with the high school drama club I run. I was rather disappointed with the characterizations and some of the very large cast sizes for very short plays. The students (urban high school) I work with and I found the characters to be rather flat caricatures of teenage angst rather than deeper characters that my students have become interested in portraying. The one gem I found here was 'The Ten Minute High School Experience,' which takes a modern stripped down approach to theatre and puts experimental theatre into a lens that my students can understand. I wish more of the writing, characterization and dialogue had been like it.
