Plays and Playwrights Book, Released Feb. 1, Features 12 New Plays

Twelve new plays were selected for the 2006 edition of Plays and Playwrights, the annual anthology that publishes some of the season's outstanding new off-off-Broadway dramas and comedies.  The book will be released on February 1st.

The book, as with all in the seven-year old series, is edited by Martin Denton, the editor of nytheatre.com.  Denton, a former accountant, developed the anthology series as a way of preserving and popularizing worthy plays that might not be produced again if not for publication.

The Top Ten People of the Millennium Sing Their Favorite Schubert Lieder by Alec Duffy

Burning The Old Man by Kelly McAllister

Self At Hand by Jack Hanley

The Expense of Spirit by Josh Fox
