The transcripts provide fascinating insights into the theatre of the past, but they also show how little has changed: the actors primary tools are still the body and voice. Actors interviewed include Harry Andrews, Alec Guinness, Rex Harrison, Robert Stephens and Margaret Tyzack, with notes from John Gielgud. Peter Gill provides an introduction.

His parents, concerned they will never make a beast of him, send him off to Cunning College to learn the Nine Rules of Badness from the growliest, greediest, ghastliest wolf of all: Uncle Bigbad!

She speaks in a continuous present tense: The alarm clock goes. She tries to ignore it. She goes downstairs. Her parents are nagging her younger brother that hell be late for school. He leaves in a rush, the parents grumble. She gets ready for work. Then the police are at the door. The boy has been killed in a random shooting. And their world implodes Written with a vivid immediacy that captures the wonderfully observed idiosyncrasies of an ordinary family starting what they think is an ordinary day, Random is another provocative tour de force from Britains leading black female playwright.

A great deal will depend on their coming up with something fresh that is exactly suited both to the role they are auditioning for and to their particular performing skills. This is where The Good Audition Guides come in. Drawing on over thirty years experience as an actress and drama coach, Jane Maud has selected fifty monologues for men drawn from plays largely written in the last ten years.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu A Woman in Waiting is based on the life of Thembi Mtshali-Jones, whose life journey has taken her from a childhood of poverty in the rural village of Sabhoza, to Johannesburg where she would become one of South Africa's foremost performers and singers. Amajuba: Like Doves We Rise was developed by Yael Farber with a group of five performers, who drew on memories, dreams and childhood songs to create a vivid depiction of their Apartheid-era experiences. He Left Quietly tells the story of Duma Kumalo who was sentenced to death in 1984 for his alleged participation in the mob killing of a town councillor in Sharpeville but due to intense international pressure was granted a stay of execution just hours before he was due to be killed.

One of the founders of the kitchen sink dramas in the 1950s, his work is always unpredictable and he defies categorisation. He views himself as a free spirit and explains the versatile quality of his plays by the fact that he lets his material dictate its own inherent style. This collection of tender plays about love, including The Four Seasons, Love Letters on Blue paper and Lady Othello brilliantly confirm that unpredictability from a writer best known for his powerful social dramas such as The Wesker Trilogy, The Kitchen, and Chips With Everything.
