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
