Thirty scenes, designed for actors, directors, and teachers, offering a wide and varied range of material for developing, practicing and improving theatrical and communicational skills. The scenes are chosen to focus on critical moments, important ideas, actions or character revelations. Introductions to each scene provide needed detail and general background for understanding the characters, plots and settings. Production notes, in the margins, have been written to stimulate the actor or student and to encourage directorial approaches for continuous action, emotion and interpretation. Each scene was carefully selected for maximum presentational quality and minimal props, sets or costumes. This is the second volume in an invaluable collection, offering those desirable, less familiar, select scenes of major American, British and World playwrights.
