Format:Hardcover
This book is ideal for any one studying a level or GCSE drama, it provides a mixture of plays with characters ranging from stereotypical to the paranomal, with each lasting between 20 and 30 mins long, ideal for a script acting mock.
It is very well written and the characters and stage directions are clearly visual, it is a superb book, which drama students or those interested in Drama should study.

Format:Paperback
I read this from the perspective of an aspiring playwright rather than an actor, and found it to be invaluable. Although there is, in my opinion, no better source of inspiration than live theatre, reading Ayckbourn's drama is extremely interesting. One gains insight into the theatrical devices used by the playwright which sometimes are only fleeting in performance. It is fascinating to find out the detail Ayckbourn gives in communicating his wishes for the performance, such as the lowering and raising of voices in 'Between Mouthfuls' (my personal favourite of the five one-act plays).
All the plays which make up Confusions are striking and individual, but all return to the main theme of loneliness. For me, the wealth of stylised theatrical devices is what makes it such a witty and engaging set of plays.
Format:Hardcover
I find this a very tidy neat book and i am totally happy with this product, thankyou very much!

I use this script again and again for teaching especially as you can just grab small short easily set scenes with not many people. Read more
