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.

across the street.
