All In The Timing

6 One-Act Comedies by David Ives

Winner of the John Gassner Playwriting Award and 1994 Outer Critics Circle 

Sure Thing:A man and a woman meet for the first time in a cafe, where they have an awkward meeting continually reset each time they say the wrong thing, until, finally, they connect.

Words, Words, Words:Three chimpanzees attempt to write Hamlet. It discusses the merits of literature and questions its necessity.

The Philadelphia: A man in a strange state where he must ask for the opposite of what he wants in a restaurant.

The Universal Language: A man and a woman fall in love while communicating in the invented language Unamunda.

Variations on the Death of Trotsky: Leon Trotsky dies several times from a mountain-climber's ax wound received 36 hours prior.

English Made Simple: A young man and woman meet at a party, and their immediate romantic attraction is translated into comically unromantic grammar lessons as they struggle to free themselves from the banal constrictions of party talk.
