The best of the rest...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book includes stage scenes of all types - from serious to comic to shades in between - to provide a varied, dramatic challenge for any actor/ess: professional, student or amateur. Here's an invaluable resource for auditions, acting classes, competitions and rehearsals. I've just won my first major acting role using one of the scenes from Paul Boakye, so quite apart from the other great pieces of writing in this book, his "Wicked Games" is my personal favourite. I'm sure I'm not the only reader to be squirming hotly in my seat as Helen and Leo flirt over their Tequila. Cos "Well, I would bet ... (Pulls out a cigarette and lights it to smoke.) That three Tequila Slammers are probably equivalent to one incredible orgasm. But ... I'd also bet that bad sex isn't even equivalent to one Tequila Slammer. Tequila Slammer is still better than bad sex." Some great writing, very funny, and great news for actors. Thanks.
