Time Flies.FIVE SHORT PLAYS BY DAVID IVES
A collection of witty and wildly original one-acts teeming with unforgettable characters pondering life’s metaphysical questions.
Zany, smart, and utterly fresh, this collection is magical, eccentric, wacky dark comedy at its very best. ADVISORY: Intended for mature audiences. Contains colourful language, questionable accents, and scenes of explicit insect sexuality. “Ives [is] wizardly... magical and funny... a master of language. He uses words for their meanings, sounds and associations, spinning conceits of a sort I’ve not seen or heard before. He’s an original.”
- Vincent Canby, The New York Times “Hilarious... brilliantly calculated... The fragility of communication is pointed up with engaging skill... and the virtue of character.” - Clive Barnes, The New York Post “David Ives [is] perhaps the funniest writer of short plays in America today.” - The Columbus Dispatch “David Ives is the one. I cannot imagine a time when a dramatist delighted and surprised me more... Cleverly accessible and humane... these postcards from the weirdo edge are a rare treat that only makes one wish for more.” - The New York Observer “Delectable!” - The Wall Street Journal |
