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.
