There are these things called 'plays' and what they are is a bunch of people dressing up and pretending that they're on TV or in a movie or something. I assume it's to pass the time while the power is out and you can't actually watch TV. This book is a collection of these 'play' things. I guess you have to collect them in a book in case the power goes out and you have no friends to dress up and act out the 'plays'... I read it eight times.

When I read this in late high school or early college, I remember thinking my favorite of the bunch was "Four Clowns & A Bench."
