Full Description

Spotlighting the best of Broadway Off-Broadway regional and experimental writings since 2000 ÊDuo!: The Best Scenes for Two for the 21st CenturyÊ offers bravura pieces for performance acting class and study. Culled from the work of over 100 playwrights ä veterans as well as up-and-coming talents ä and encompassing the seminal issues of our time ä from race to gender class to politics ä this follow-up compendium to the popular edition of the 1990s is by turns comic or serious ä and sometimes both ä but always intensely human. ÊDuo!Ê's satisfyingly complex characters are the obscure or famous young middle-aged and older.ÞTracy Letts confronts the aftermath of betrayal on a night too hot for sleep in ÊAugust: Osage CountyÊ; Karen Finley exposes sexual politics outside the Oval Office in ÊGeorge & MarthaÊ; Tom Stoppard investigates the difficulties of understanding Greek as well as the younger generation in ÊRock 'n' RollÊ; Lynn Nottage delineates gentility the fear of being alone and the passage of time in ÊIntimate ApparelÊ; Richard Greenberg weighs the costs of being godly or becoming merely human in the baseball-themed ÊTake Me OutÊ; and Tina Howe bends time showing the universal power of dramatic recognition across the ages in ÊWater MusicÊ.
