RAW AND OTHER SHORT PLAYS

By Victoria Z. Daly. Published by Next Stage Press

A collection of one-act dark comedies, dramedies and absurdities, including international award winners Raw (Audience Favorite, Short + Sweet Dubai,) High Water Line (Neem Independent International Award, Russia,) Far North (Winner, Warner International Playwrights Festival,) Final Rest (Warner Theater “Best of the Last 9 Years”,) and more.

A series of precious short plays – imaginatively conceived, beautifully crafted, perceptive and insightful on the inner workings of family relationships.
— Carol Rocamora, Faculty Member at NYU and Juilliard
Daly is a courageous and amazingly rangy writer. Her characters are fully fleshed and all-too-humanly flawed and we fully engage with them.
— Julie Weinberg, Winner, Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for Comic Playwriting
Victoria Z. Daly is a master at the short play form, and this collection shows her at her best. There is not one script here that isn’t stunning in its depth, characterizations, and multi-layered storytelling. Every play is a wonderful work that lives as vividly on the page as on the stage.
— Doug DeVita, Winner, Fresh Fruit Festival NYC
These are sly and subtle plays ... full of humor and guarded emotions that eventually erupt to the surface. Any actor would have a field day portraying these rich characters in these provocative plays.
— Benjamin V. Marshall, Winner, Stanley Drama Award
