The 100 speeches and scenes in this collection include excerpts from published plays and adapted novels, as well as new, original material written specifically for this anthology.

Also included is a foreword by actor and LAMDA graduate Ruth Wilson.
For Learners taking LAMDA Examinations, this anthology offers a wide choice of characters and worlds to explore. There is material for younger candidates who are just entering the world of performance, as well as material for older, more experienced actors. For the general reader, this anthology is an ideal starting point for discovering the work of contemporary playwrights, as well as reconnecting with celebrated writers of the past.
