The Monsters Are Due on Maple Streetby Rod Serling
Review:
I just reread this short play with my class and loved it. We are watching the TV episode on Friday and have been practicing tableaux (slide show) interpretations of it all week long. The setting is anywhere, any town, Maple Street when a meteor supposedly hits the earth. Everyone in town is in a panic and accusations fly. I love the exploration of fear and prejudice in this story and the ending is eerie. If you haven't seen this episode and do not mind reading a script alone, you should pick this story up, it is only 10 pages long.
