Bücher der Reihe Carolina Playmakers Series

These plays tell of comedy and tragedy in the lives of people far in the backcountry of the Deep South. They present characters such as a young black widow, a scapegrace black troubadour, and a lively black girl in their native surroundings and portray what life is like for them. These plays may be produced simply on school and little theatre stages. Originally published in 1943.

These five one-act plays, originally produced by the Carolina Playmakers at Chapel Hill and on various tours, offer an unusual combination of brilliant local colour and truth about human nature everywhere. Well written, with skilful stage directions and notes on Mexican costume and Spanish pronunciation, they are highly practical for production. Originally published in 1938.
