[.ca] The Twilight Zone Scripts (ISBN 1887368523)

Wonderful scripts, perfect for performances.:
At my camp, we recently performed a play in two acts using "Mute" from this collection, and "Nick of Time" from the other. These are easy to follow scripts, and are great bed reading.

More From the Master:
This sceond volume of Richard Matheson's classic scripts for "The Twilight Zone," covers his work for the 1963-64 seasons. Scripts included in this volume are as follows: "Mute" "Death Ship" "Steel" (Great performance by Lee Marvin) "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" (The classic with William Shatner. Much better than its remake in "Twilight Zone: The Movie") "Night Call" "Spur of the Moment" Like the first volume, worth your money and time.

Great scripts; disappointing presentation:
Fans of the original series know of Richard Matheson's stellar thirteen episodes, which include some of the finest in the series: "The Invaders", "Death Ship", "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet". And at long last, here they are in readable form. Unfortunately, the two volumes offer little more than the scripts themselves. Those familiar with the "TZ Companion" by Zicree and the newly-released "TZ Scripts of Earl Hamner" (with commentary by Tony Albarella) know of the in-depth commentary offered for nearly all the episodes. Stanley Wiater does little more than repeat what has been said elsewhere about Matheson's episodes. No real analyses or significant insight precedes the scripts themselves, thus making the book rather uninteresting on the whole.
