Praise for In One Act

"A unique theatrical voice . . . her use of masks, myth and characters played by more than one actor anticipated much in modern theater. Language for her is an incantatory force." American Academy of Arts and Letters

"You want to read these plays twice, yet at times you want to turn away from the truths exposed. . . . There are strong messages in these plays, messages we need to hear, whether for the first time or again." Ohioana Quarterly

"Adrienne Kennedy is one of America's most important playwrights . . . [yet] her innovative plays have not received the critical attention they deserve. [They] assimilate the grotesqueries of a John Webster with the painful lyricism of a Sylvia Plath." World Literature Today
