Great Scenes From the World Theater (PocketBook)

This comprehensive collection

contains many of the finest scenes from the world's most famous plays, selected by James L. Steffensen, Jr., to reflect a broad range of drama. From Shakespearian selections to the work of such acclaimed modern

dramatists as O'Neill and Synge

and such outstanding contem porary playwrights as Williams,

Albee, and Kopit, each of these

scenes emerges as a theatrical

gem in itself.

Arranged in chapters which parallel the approaches of basic acting courses, each selection is preceded by a brief introduction to plot and character. Along with its companion volume, GREAT SCENES FROM THE WORLD THEATER, Volume II, this is a valuable collection for both the

student of drama and the general

theater-going public.
