Review

This collection of many of the world's best scenes and monologs is more than just another scenebook. Each chapter includes discussion on playing the role, playing the style, and playing the performance. As part of the introduction to each chapter, there are creative vocal and physical exercises appropriate for each performance. The book includes a chapter on audition scenes and performance hints for many types of scenes. Scenes excerpted from a wide variety of classic theatre, from Oedipus to Ionesco to Albee. Classical scenes include hints for acting in historical perspective. An invaluable text for all acting students.
