“Utterly delightful one-act plays that percolate with comic brio... There is a real heart beneath Ives’s intellectual tomfoolery.”
-- The New York Times
“Delightful Disorientation” is a handpicked selection of contemporary playwright David Ives’s best one-act plays. As a playwright, Ives is known for his combination of wit, intellect, and absurd sense of fun; his characterizations, comedic timing and verbal hijinks make for frequently hilarious situations. A man exists in a strange state where he must ask for the opposite of what he wants in a restaurant (“The Philadelphia”), three chimpanzees attempt to write Hamlet (“Words, Words, Words”), two mayflies are burdened with the knowledge of their own mortality (“Time Flies”), David Mamet’s work is brilliantly parodied (“Speed-The-Play”) and much more!
