5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic and hilarious, 28 Feb 2004

By	M. L. York "Grammarian" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Confusions (Student Editions) (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb! A great mixture of characters!, 6 Dec 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Confusions (Heinemann Plays For 14-16+) (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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not excellent, 13 Feb 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Confusions (Student Editions) (Paperback)

This a play with five or six mini plays linked together. From each mini-play (I suppose you could call it a scene) one character is taken and in the next scene that character is the main character.

In one story, there is a man and at the very end he takes his coat from a waiter. Then in the next story the waiter is the main character.

It is amusing in some parts but of course plays are meant to be seen not read.
