Read-Aloud Plays

"Read-Aloud Plays" by Horace Holley is a collection of plays designed for reading aloud, focusing on the lives and emotions of its characters through dialogue. The initial plays, "Her Happiness" and "A Modern Prodigal," explore themes of love, sacrifice, and the challenges artists face. "Her Happiness" centers on the conversation between Elizabeth and Paul as they confront their romantic difficulties, while "A Modern Prodigal" examines familial relationships and societal expectations through the discourse between Richard and his uncle. The play's style invites readers to emotionally engage with the characters' experiences and conflicts, setting the stage for further examinations of personal growth.
