Unusual Works from Unusual Writers

This Month's Featured Author
 
Les Marcott

An imaginative and very cool collection of monologues, short plays, and short stories. There are 25 Monolgues with such tantalizing titles as "I Shot the Weatherman", "Kiss and Tell", "One Weekend in Reno", "Strip Club Cuisine" and "Straight Out of Sartre", among others. Each is a complete story in itself with rich characterization, perfect for auditions and studio work. It's also a delightful reading experience. Character Flaws is laced with the unique flavor and point of view of writer, actor, composer and musician, Les Marcott.
