Here is a joyous pageant of plays by masters through the ages - including Dylan Thomas, Charles Dickens, Thornton Wilder, Langston Hughes, and Hans Christian Andersen - ready to be produced, along with "The Traditional Christmas Pageant" and "The Second Shepherd's Play" in a modernized text and a lively version of "St. George and the Dragon." Comedies like "A Visit from St. Nicholas " "Amahl and the Night Visitors " "Kringle's Window" and "A Partridge in a Pear Tree" stand beside more serious works such as "A Child's Christmas in Wales " "Black Nativity " "Scrooge and Marley " "The Match Girl's Gift" and "The Long Christmas Dinner " called by critic John Gassner "...the most beautiful one-act play in English prose."
