One-Act Play Collection 017 - Audiolibro Gratis

Here, in our 17th collection, are 10 One Act Plays for your enjoyment. They range from 1600's to 1900's, from Japan to Russia (in Russian), all in short gems to make you laugh, cry, think, or all three. Note that Play 10 is long and so its second half is included on section 11. Also, as indicated in the cast list, two of the plays - numbers 1 and 7 - may not be in the Public Domain outside of the US.- Summary by ToddHW
