A SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. TITLE
Short Play, Comedy / 2w
Elaine May
The first of the three hit comedies produced Off Broadway under the title Power Plays.
The first of the three hit comedies produced Off Broadway under the title Power Plays, this is a ping pong power game played between a self absorbed executive and her seemingly drab secretary.

A nicely furnished office.
"Classic comedies...with subversive details that keep catching you off guard....The evening...percolates with actorly inventiveness and a willingness to pursue a warped logic step by step into the land of absurdity. Has a heady sense of discovery, of seeing prototypical situations being twisted and spun to the point of dizziness, of disparate comic minds bouncing off each other." - The New York Times, Read More
"...an enriching collaboration between veteran masters of off-the-wall humor." - Variety, Read More
