This anthology presents the set selection of solo and duologue scenes for learners entering LAMDA graded exams in Performance: Acting (from 1 August 2019) at Levels One and Two.
With a foreword by Harriet Walter, a former LAMDA graduate, the collection includes solo and duologue scenes from published plays and novels as well as scenes which have been specifically written for this anthology.
Each scene is accompanied by a brief outline of the setting in which the characters find themselves, before they start to speak. Solo and duologues scenes have been carefully selected to vary in tone and style, allowing learners the opportunity to practice different techniques, with a breadth of characters and stories to explore beyond the pages of this anthology.
