Notes:

"This is an original collection--not a reprint--published by Ballantine Books, Inc."

"The plays in this collection, are, in my opinion, the best written of the past year or so and have not been published elsewhere. They were not necessarily the most popular nor the best produced of that period. They are meant to be read as examples of what young playwrights are doing for the medium, and to show what a wide variety of subject matter is possible even in these squeamish times."--P. 9.

"Television plays worthy of note 1956-57": [2] p. at end.

Second volume of a planned annual series by Ballantine; 1st, 1956, edited by Gore Vidal.
