Not a bad selection,
By
This review is from: The Actor's Book of Scenes from New Plays: 70 Scenes for Two Actors, from Today's Hottest Playwrights (Paperback)
Lane and Shengold have done a most credible job selecting and editing several pieces for scene study. There is a fine broad range of pieces ranging from the comic to the serious. And of course, there is a wide range of quality. Some scenes are fantastic (Strange Snow, The Nerd, Laundry and Bourbon) and others wretched (you be the judge). Obviously there is absolutely no substitute for reading the entire play, but often in the face of an acting class, time is of the essence.However a warning I would give out is for all High School Acting teachers. Learning from experience, please understand that many of the scenes are racy and salty in their content. That is just a heads up for teachers wishing to build a scene study library-which this certainly belongs. You don't necessarily have to censor, you just have to be aware.

I needed a few scenes to use for my senior advanced theatre class, and I found all sorts of ideas in this book! I would recommend it to all students of theatre!
