This is a terrific collection of scenes because it does not include the same, old "Laura and the Gentleman Caller" or "Juliet on the balcony with Romeo" dialogues that you get elsewhere. Here are over a hundred fresh, hip, contemporary scenes written by an equal number of today's brightest playwrights from the turn of the 21st century on. Plus, there are scenes for a man and a woman, two women, or two men. Whether you're an acting teacher, a student, or just a theatre buff, here is a well-organized, blockbuster compendium that has been cunningly assembled by the book's three collaborators with a keen eye for works that address the spot-on issues of our age - from race and gender to class and politics to love and sex. You would do well to consider your acquisition of this book not as a purchase, but an investment.Jonathan KestlyStage Director
I just received this book to add to my library of scene books. I teach acting at a university. I am relieved to find that the book includes scenes I have not previously seen in any other scene book. (That was a lot of "scenes/seens"!) Each scene includes a helpful age/style/synopsis breakdown. Good purchase.
I bought this book for my high school forensics team. It has lots of choices, and is conveniently organized into male/female, male/male and female/female duos. However, there is some strong language, which is unfortunate. If my students find a piece they particularly like, and it had the more adult language, they would have to "b!**p" it out from the dialogue. Additionally, most of the pieces are quite short, and I'd like a few longer ones for the students who wish to have more a challenge. Aside from these two concerns, I think it is a great book for an acting class or a forensics team.
My acting partner and I had a BLAST with this book. The scenes were very realistic and it was easy for us to get right into character. I love the way the book is organized with the "One woman, One man Scenes" and so on so you can easily go to whatever situation you were in.
The book is new and having student Prime ships 2 days is great! Sucks that for my class we only pick out 1 scene from the book to act...that was a waste of money for that I didn't know. But the book has tons of plays for 2 so I guess recommend to act for fun?
Has some of the best scenes I've ever read. I use it for almost all my scenes that I need to do in my acting class.
Looks like this book has some great scenes. One big problem. The kindle version skips 5-10 pages at a time.
