Excerpt from Five One-Act Comedies
Lawrence Langner, the author of these plays, is a typical American: he was born in Europe; and like all typical Americans, he is not happy outside New York. If he were a casual American, one who is American merely through accident of birth, he would probably prefer to spend his time in London or Paris, mugging-up European culture in the hope that some of it might stick to him, but since he is a typical American and has wished for Americanization instead of having it wished on him, he spends his time at the unfashionable end of Fifth Avenue, trying to develop a culture which derives, not from Europe, but from Cape Cod. He will not live to see an American culture which does not derive from the Old World, but at least he and the group, whose most interesting member is Mr. Eugene O'Neill, are doing much to make the way easier for a more definitely American culture to establish itself. There are obvious dangers which may overwhelm these pioneers, such as arrogance and argumentativeness and smugness and self-satisfaction and a disproportionate view of things and, above all, a tendency to imagine that the new and disorderly thing is better than the orderly and old; but if the pioneers have sound constitutions, they will survive them.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book collects four plays by early 20th-century playwright Lawrence Langner. These satirical one-acters explore relationships, creativity, marriage, and freedom, often with a humorous and unconventional touch. Langner examines the complexities of living together in the early 20th century, focusing on what happens when the core tenets of relationships and social norms are questioned. The plays, written between 1920 and 1929, are products of their time, providing a unique glimpse into societal attitudes during a period of rapid social and cultural change. Langner's witty dialogue, compelling characters, and insightful observations reveal the lasting struggle between personal desire and societal expectations, making this collection relevant and enjoyable to contemporary readers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
