Summary "Read-Aloud Plays" by Horace Holley is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. The plays exhibit a unique format tailored for intimate reading settings rather than traditional theatrical performances, exploring themes of love, personal growth, and emotional conflict through dialogue. The beginning of the text introduces readers to the innovative concept of "read-aloud" plays, where characters navigate their stories through spoken word in a cozy setting. The opening scenes present two distinct plays: "Her Happiness," featuring a poignant exchange between Elizabeth and Paul as they grapple with love and separation, and "A Modern Prodigal," introducing Richard and his uncle Richard in a conversation that reveals family dynamics and the struggles of artists against societal expectations. Through these character-driven dialogues, the audience is invited into their emotional landscapes, setting the stage for exploring deeper themes throughout the collection.
