On Beyond Bonkers: Fourteen Plays Written for Grownups

by Robert St. John

Overview

This collection of plays for grown-ups offers a wide selection, from scripts that would run roughly ten-minutes in length to up to an hour on stage, from all points of the of the satirical spectrum-with some being very, very dark indeed and some being quite naughty-plays about work and relationships and aging and sex and childbirth and artificial intelligence and space travel and racism and misogyny and spiders and vampires and time travel and what it means to be a puppet. In short, everything you might ask for, if you love theatre and you happen to be in the mood to laugh, or if you are very, very drunk.
