New Monologues Created During the Coronavirus Pandemic The 24 Hour Plays Edited by Howard Sherman, Independent scholar, USA Since 1995 The 24 Hour Plays have been responding to theatre in the moment.

Bringing together some of America's most prolific writers for the stage and screen, this unique and contemporary book of monologues collates the responses in dramatic fashion, making for an anthology of work that is timely, moving, irreverent and at its best, transcendent.
