Good diverse book
I'm a freelance drama teacher who sometimes struggles to find work for a range of pupils, of varying abilities. This book has been excellent; there are pieces in it to suit many different age groups and each piece has its own particular merits and discussion points. If you can get hold of two copies, as I have done - then you can use it as a regular feature of lessons. Getting youngsters to learn and perform pieces as though it were an audition. For those of you who provide LAMDA or Trinity training in duologue work then this book will be an excellent resource for the non-set texts. A worthwhile investment.
