These lively dramas from the twenties and thirties evoke a world of gangsters on the lam, crooked cops on the take, intrepid newspapermen hungry for a scoop, and slightly tarnished damsels in distress. Reading them, it's hard to imagine how they ever got lost in the first place. But thanks to Richard Nelson's dramaturgical sleuthing, they're back and as compelling as ever. The four plays included in this volume are: Strictly Dishonorable by Preston Sturges The Racket by Bartlett Cormack The Ghost of Yankee Doodle by Sidney Howard A Slight Case of Murder by Howard Lindsay and Damon Runyon.
