| 520 | _a"One-Act Plays by Modern Authors" edited by Helen Louise Cohen is a collection of contemporary one-act plays, likely compiled during the early 20th century. This anthology highlights the evolution of the one-act play as a unique form of drama, distinct from traditional full-length plays, showcasing the creativity of modern playwrights, many of whom sought to connect with the realities and sensibilities of their time. The collection serves as both a reading and acting resource for students, offering accessible works that cater to educational settings while still appealing to broader audiences. The opening portion of the anthology establishes the context for the significance of one-act plays, particularly their emergence during a time when audiences craved fresh narratives that resonated with their experiences. It discusses the historical backdrop of the one-act play, its development alongside the Little Theatre movement, and the emerging voices of playwrights who experimented with this format. The section notably emphasizes the connection between these shorter dramas and the expressive potential they hold in both classroom studies and performances, inviting young audiences to engage actively with the art of theatre. The introduction serves to frame the plays that follow, fostering an appreciation for the modern stage and the collaborative nature of theatrical production.
