A New Play Anthology from Freshwater Press! The Recollection Collection is a rumination and examination of the form and function of memory in our daily lives. So important, and yet so slippery, memory can sustain us, impede us, betray us and save us. This exceptional group of vividly drawn short plays can be used individually, or performed as a complete show with a flexible cast as small as 2 men and 3 women. Featuring new work from playwrights Claudia Haas, James McLindon, Anthony Neuman, Amanda Petefish-Schrag, Joe Swanson, and Michael Weems, these are more than just scenes- they are small but complete plays with complex characters, emotional resonance, and a touch of whimsy.
