Baron Jiro
by Sherwood Ross
Performance Rights
Order Scripts
Drama
One Act, 60-65 minutes
3 male, 1 female
Performances $20.00 per, scripts $7.95 each

Set in pre-WW2 Japan, this play examines the results of a meeting between a forward thinking Japanese industrialist and an all too narrow minded general in the Japanese army who has helped initiate the invasion of China. Conquest of the Chinese isn't all the General has on his mind—he also has plans for the Baron's wife. The historical setting makes for an interesting backdrop to this moving drama.

Contains adult language and themes. #13-004

by Todd Wm. Ristau
Performance Rights
Order Scripts
Drama
One Act, 60-65 minutes
1 male
Performances $20.00 per, scripts $7.95 each

A chillingly authentic one-man play which debunks the Führer Myth by using the madman's own words. Painstakingly culled from speeches, written texts, and first-hand accounts this play has been called "...deeply moving, extremely accurate, and vitally important in educating another generation about the horror of that period."

Contains adult language and themes. #13-003

Thirteen monologues for and about women, ranging in style and treatment from a middle-aged 9th grade biology teacher giving a hilarious lecture on puberty to the sobering story of Sufiya, a Nigerian woman sentenced to be stoned to death for adultery because she was impregnated during a rape. A fast paced exploration of a variety of women's issues from an equally varied number of perspectives.
