    With "BOB: A Life in 5 Acts," Peter Sinn Nachtrieb has written an epic, theatrical exploration of the American character -- complete with victories and setbacks and further setbacks, disillusionment, reversals of fortune, and acceptance. It's like a tall tale or other legendary story with its huge themes, grand scope, and intimate moments. Find it -- like I did -- on Dramatists Play Service. Read it, produce it.

    This. Play. It is SO spectacular, hilarious, weird, and sweet! I came across it while skimming through an anthology and couldn't put it down. I used a monologue from it for an audition. I need to see this on stage! This play made me a HUGE fan of Peter Sinn Nachtrieb!
