Title: A great collection - long out of print.
Product review: "The Big Book of Plays" is the first of two books put out by the legendary comedy troupe the Firesign Theatre (Phil Austin, Peter Bergman, Philip Proctor, and David Ossman) during their heyday (it was published in 1972). It is a collection of pieces from the troupe's first four albums. As such, it allows the reader to finally fully penetrate the oft-times impenetrable texts of the group's records. The pieces included are "Waiting For the Electrician or Someone Like Him" and "How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All?" from the albums of the same name, and the titles "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers" and "I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus" in their entirety. The plays are accompanied by a plethora of photos, a foreword from each member, and a chronology of the group's career to that point. Good luck finding a copy but, if you do, grab it! It's great.
