Product Description
Culled from the work of over 100 playwrights and encompassing the seminal issues of our time, this follow-up compendium is by turns comic and serious but always intensely human. Pieces include scenes from August: Osage County, George and Martha, Intimate Apparel, Take Me Out, and Water Music.

 KUDOS for DUO! October 30, 2009
Jonathan Kestly
This is a terrific collection of scenes because it does not include the same, old "Laura and the Gentleman Caller" or "Juliet on the balcony with Romeo" dialogues that you get elsewhere. Here are over a hundred fresh, hip, contemporary scenes written by an equal number of today's brightest playwrights from the turn of the 21st century on. Plus, there are scenes for a man and a woman, two women, or two men. Whether you're an acting teacher, a student, or just a theatre buff, here is a well-organized, blockbuster compendium that has been cunningly assembled by the book's three collaborators with a keen eye for works that address the spot-on issues of our age - from race and gender to class and politics to love and sex. You would do well to consider your acquisition of this book not as a purchase, but an investment.

I just received this book to add to my library of scene books. I teach acting at a university. I am relieved to find that the book includes scenes I have not previously seen in any other scene book. (That was a lot of "scenes/seens"!) Each scene includes a helpful age/style/synopsis breakdown. Good purchase.

I ordered this book about two months ago and I have yet to recieve it. I don't know if it is because of problems with Amazon, or the manufacturer, or even UPS but I am highly upset and would either like my money back or the book to show up at my house some time this soon, hopefully this week.
