BOYS WILL BE BOYS and FIVE ONE-ACT PLAYS
BOYS WILL BE BOYS and FIVE ONE-ACT PLAYS by Robert Manns is published by iUniverse in April 2005 and spans 136 pages. This collection explores the evolving landscape of theatrical expression, particularly in relation to themes of sexuality. The author suggests that as societal norms shift, so too should the boundaries of what can be portrayed in both homosexual and heterosexual narratives, all while maintaining a sense of good taste.
Readers will find a diverse array of one-act plays within this volume, each serving as a distinct etude that may focus on character studies, action, or complete narratives. The format allows for a unique exploration of drama, reflecting contemporary themes and the changing perceptions of taste over time. This edition presents a thoughtful examination of American drama, inviting readers to consider the implications of these evolving narratives in the context of modern theater.
Official synopsis Publisher
With the loosening of constraints on what may be discussed and portrayed in plays dealing with homosexuality, similar relaxation should be expected for heterosexual works. Within the bounds of good taste, of course. And taste, like time, alters. Hopefully, the time is now.
***
In an age of miniaturization, the one-act play should find itself at home.
People do attend concertized etudes, most often for the piano, and that is precisely what a one-act play is–an etude. Sometimes it’s a character study, others a piece of action, still others a complete little story, and several strung together selectively can make a program.
