Characters search for a conflict, upset audience members disrupt the show, a spy mission goes wrong, cowboys try but can’t do a simple shootout correctly, and a considerate and mannerly thief asks permission before he robs people. These are some of the situations found in this collection of ten-minute plays. Here are delightful theatrical nuggets that range from the comical to the serious. Each one is designed to be produced with just a few actors, few props, and within a single setting. They are easy to perform or fun to just read.
