What readers are saying

Readers have mixed feelings about the collection. While some see potential for high school students, others criticize the works for their lack of depth and formulaic writing. It appears to cater more to beginners rather than more advanced actors or students in college-level settings.

Great for beginnersUseful for high school studentsLacks depth and originalityCharacters are stereotypical

Synopsis

This latest volume in a series of short play anthologies compiled by Deb and Norman Bert provides roles for almost any mix of students in an acting class.

The plays in this drama book range in mood from serious and heavy to satiric comedy and farce.

The heart of the book includes 15 scripts for two actors and five scripts for three actors.

All the plays are eight to 15 minutes long and offer balanced roles with no walk-on parts.

The playwrights are icons of the American avant-garde, writers who have contributed much to regional theatre over recent years.

An excellent resource for classrooms and festival competition use, five monologues plus an extensive chapter about rehearsing add value to this book.

A bibliography and guidelines on securing the rights to these scripts are also included.
