Read the excerpt from act 1 of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, As they suddenly start toward the house. In this brief fraction of a moment they take the first step toward performing a
metamorphosis that changes people from a group into a mob. They begin to head purposefully across the street
toward the house at the end. Steve stands in front of them. For a moment their fear almost turns their walk into a wild
stampede but Steve's voice, loud, incisive and commanding makes them stop.
