Forensics Series, Vol. 1 Duo Practice and Competition: Thirty-five 8-10 Minute Original Comedic Plays (Young Actors Series)

Rating:
Summary: BE ADVISED! Coaches from Single-Sex Schools Need Not Order!
Review: These two volumes are, indeed, highly useful for forensic coaches...well, for those in co-ed settings, anyway. I was quite surprised to find, when I received these books, that each and every scene was created for the male/female duo pair. The vast majority do not lend themselves to play by single sex pairs. (I had expected a more balanced approach with, perhaps, half designed for the male/female duo and the other half split between scenes for the female/female and male/male duo as is so often the case with scene books.) I actually felt strongly enough about this point to write to the authors--as I hope they will take the needs of those of us in single-sex schools into account and provide us with material too! A LATER ADDITION TO THIS REVIEW: I actually hear from one of the authors--and quite promptly, I might add--who agreed that this was a strong need and indicated that these works are close to completion! So, watch for them!
