Stacked: a play in one act

Are human beings doomed to muddle through a dreary existence, bereft of hope? Can we do better than put a brave face on it, as Camus recommended in "The Myth of Sysiphus"?

In this one-act play--a classic response to existential favorites such as "Waiting for Godot" and "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"--two actors wrestle with science, religion, an unseen director, and their own choices about how they'll interpret the script they've been given.

Snappy dialog, whimsy, and a dose of slapstick keep the play fun rather than heavy, despite its meaty themes.

Eminently readable and easy to stage, this edition now includes discussion questions for classroom learning and book groups.
