This is a collection of one-act plays with prison as the background and criminals as the characters. Some are satirical, others are critical of either the legal system or the participants. Regardless, this is an area that has been overlooked in the production of stage plays.

Este folleto contiene dos obras teatrales las cuales son totalmente diferentes. Sonya la Gata es una comedia-fantasia, similar a las obras de Tolkien. En ella, una gata magica de dos hermanos ha sido sequestrada por duendes, y ellos tienen que rescatarla.

This is the premiere of a new type of literature: the mosaic. It is composed of numerous stories which, put together, give an overall picture and theme, yet each story (or chapter) can stand on its own as an independent short story. In this instance, all of the participants of the criminal justice system are looked at---and skewered.

Right after the Second World War, a literary thunderbolt shook the European intelligentsia. A former Communist from Hungary published Darkness at Noon. In it, he portrayed an Old Guard Bolshevik who has been arrested by Stalin's NKVD. He is expected to cooperate at his upcoming show trial and confess to all sorts of absurd crimes. Although being an intellectual he can rationalize cooperating and obeying The Party, deep inside he feels revulsion for the grotesque demands, and, for his own personal participation in The Party. This work revealed the inner psychology of such individuals and mirrored the grotesque show trials of the 1930s orchestrated by Josef Stalin. This is a theatrical adaptation of the novel by Arthur Koestler.

Three adaptations of several of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories are presented for the theater. The Tell Tale Heart is a portrayal of a man who, because of paranoia, commits a horrible crime.

The System of Professor Fether and Dr. Tarr is Poe's humorous tale of gullibility.

$12 Ramon Villaverde is a Cuban-American living in Miami who has met the love of his life and wants nothing more than to pursue his profession. However, the sudden appearance of a Cuban boy who was rescued from the high seas and the concerted campaign by Communists in the United States to return the boy to the Cuban government shatters any illusions he has of being an island unto himself, aloof from cruelty, and draws him into becoming deeply involved in moral issues as he is forced to make decisions which will affect his own life.

This bilingual edition of three satirical plays will have the reader either laughing his head off or asking for the author's head, depending on your point of view. The Peasant relates an encounter between a farmer and a group of self-styled revolutionaries. The Citizenship Oral Exam taken by two women applying for citizenship results in maddening frustration for the man administering the test. Infidel is a surrealistic comedy about a Caribbean dictator who is dead but who refuses to let himself be buried. Infidel was produced at the Orlando International Fringes Festival in 2007. In Spanish and English versions.

This volume contains two one-act plays, which are radically different from each other. Like the masks that symbolize the theater, one is a comedy and the other one a tragedy. Sonya the Cat is a comedy based on a fantasy theme, similar to the Tolkien works, wherein two brothers have a magical cat that is catnapped by goblins, at which point they set out to retrieve her. Pontius Pilate, on the other hand, is a tragedy based on the trial of Jesus Christ, except that the emphasis is on Pontius Pilate and the moral dilemma with which he was faced.

The 58 stories in this collection range over a wide variety of subject matter: hurricanes, criminals, sinkholes, scuba diving, jazz clubs, sex, surfing, nude beaches, Sea World, Disney World, racism, Cuban-Americans, the terminally ill, drug addiction, conservation. And, although the stories are centered around Orlando, many of the stories also take place throughout Florida: in Miami, Tampa, Cape Canaveral, Ft. Myers and the Florida Keys ("Where the weird turn pro"). Some of the stories would be considered to be too bizarre---except they were based on true incidents.
