"This year's collection of Best Short Plays supports editor Delgado's belief that 'some of the most imaginative, humorous, touching and powerful character, situations, and ideas are skillfully compacted into today's one-act plays.' Murray Schisgal's delightful character comedy, A Need For Brussels Sprouts, opened on Broadway in the 1982-83 season, starring Anne Jackson as the tough lady cop and Eli Wallach (her offstage husband) as the lonely down-at-the-heels actor cited for disturbing the peace."--Book Jacket.
