No shortage of solo plays. . .

The popularity  of  solo  plays  continues  undiminished--  Of  the three  seen and reviewed  in the last ten days,   the standout was  a streamlined  version of  the Greek Classic,  An  Iliad--  two quite different  but outstanding actors  alternate  performing it--

 New York

The Maria Project- a solo performance piece presented during Domestic Violence Awareness Monthas a part of its “80 Voices” campaign. . . .


An Iliad- Denis O’Hare and Lisa Peterson have turned Homer's epic war poem into a spell-binding performance piece. . . .

New Jersey
Summer in Sanctuary
- Al Letson’s solo-play is not dissimilar from the raconteur style and informal format that defined the monologues of Spalding Gray . . .
