- Synopsis
- This book is a practical resource for acting and directing students of all ages middle through high school, college, and professionals young and old. Its 30 duet scenes and eight monologues include a fair sampling of the late 20th-century work of playwrights across the United States. These excerpts are highly original in that few people can claim to have read or seen them performed, though they have all been produced regionally. The gallery of characters contained in these pages offers readers an arresting and kaleidoscopic reflection of American society. The literary styles one encounters here demonstrate the range and power of American writers who will continue to shape theatrical techniques for years to come. Overall, this anthology provides a generous sampling of vital and compelling treatments of our social, artistic, and spiritual experiences of the late 20th century.
