"Am I Blue" : A One-Act Drama by Beth Henley

Beth Henley gained fame on Broadway with her Pulitzer Prize winning drama, Crimes of the Heart. Soon after, Hollywood scooped her up. They not only adapted Crimes, but some of her other works (The Miss Firecracker Contest and Nobody's Fool) were produced as well.

Her career as a playwright began with the one act drama, "Am I Blue." There’s a lot to admire about Beth Henley’s short 1972 play. First of all, dramatic works for teen-age thespians are in short supply, especially plays that aren’t too preachy. “Am I Blue” provides juicy roles for a young actor and actress, despite a few flaws typical of this genre.
