More copies of this ISBNThe Actor's Book of Scenes from New Plays: 70 Scenes for Two Actors, from Today's Hottest Playwrightsby Eric Lane
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Today's most exciting work for the stage is emerging far from Broadway's "mainstream," at Off and Off-off Broadway theaters, at regional companies around the country, and from abroad. Here is an up-to-the-minute collection of scenes—ideally suited for both classroom and audition use—from the best dramatists now being produced. Synopsis:David Mamet, Beth Henley, and August Wilson are just some of the contemporary dramatists whose work is featured in this book, the first anthology of two-character scenes that exclusively includes plays from the mid-sixties to plays currently running on and off Broadway.
