Girl Stories & Game Plays: An Anthology of Stories and Plays - Paperback

by Betsy Robinson (Author)

24 Subversive Stories & 3 Funny One-act Plays, including Darleen Dances

Girls lost in ice cream and fantasies and a love of comfortable shoes; mean girls; scared girls; naked girls; bald girls.

This anthology offers a different (maybe sneaky) kind of journey that builds like a novel ... or something else entirely. A feast of silly, serious, strange, sexy, transcendent, upsetting, and laugh-out-loud funny stories of girls and girl-women. Included among the trilogy of one-act plays is an updated version of the popular audition-monologue play Darleen Dances. The one-acts can be performed singly or as a trilogy using one cast of actors.

"The turns of phrase-creative freedom with language-turned me on throughout; that's the reason why people still read. I laughed out loud, I laughed out loud, I laughed out loud A ticklish read from start to finish. Darleen Dances is brilliant. I always wanted more."
-Jason Love, syndicated humor writer

"I was seduced into believing these were just 'stories' and then was zinged with surprising twists. The precision of the writing is gripping, dialogue is riveting. Each story stands on its own but then becomes a part of a greater whole, with some characters appearing and reappearing, as though they want us to know them better."
-Diane Booth, psychotherapist
