Fast & Furious II

Just how much plot and emotion can be crammed into 60 seconds? That’s the challenge facing writers, directors and actors involved in the second annual Fast & Furious play festival at Stage Left Theater. The two-night festival showcases 40 one-minute plays by some of the region’s top playwriting talent, performed in a staged reading format by more than two dozen local actors. Spearheaded by Stage Left’s playwright-in-residence Sandra Hosking, Fast & Furious runs the gamut from Macbeth spoofs to first dates and creepy dolls.
