The Best of the One Act Plays: Australian Theatre Workshop draws together some of the most popular, most performed and best remembered plays published by Heinemann since 1979 as part of the One Act Plays series. Several have been performed outside the classroom by both amateur and professional theatre groups, and although they are all ideal for classroom performances and can easily be performed in the duration of a lesson, several plays also have the capacity to be made into full-scale drama productions. This collection of plays continues to form part of the drama experience of many Australian secondary school students.
