It had been awhile since I read a play, and a really long time since I sat down and read a one-act play. I forgot how much fun they are -- just like a short story, the author needs to fit a lot into a small space, and also like a short story, that constraint allows for a lot of experimentation and surprising depth. I enjoyed all of these plays but the two that grabbed me the most were probably Tennessee Williams' 27 Wagons Full of Cotton (which he later developed into the script for Baby Doll) and Arthur Miller's A Memory of Two Mondays (look on YouTube for a great version of this one with Harvey Keitel and Jerry Stiller, along with a neat introduction by Miller himself).
