"I want my 2 dash 10! The whole night is planned around the 2 dash 10! The canapes have been colour-coordinated to the 2 dash 10. I had a string quartet compose a piece of music dedicated to the 2 dash 10." This collection is a drama teacher's dream! Ten short two-person plays (inspired by the numbers 10 and 2!) in a variety of themes and lengths.

This set of scenes was mostly comedic. There are some that do have a more serious overall tone or ending, but all of the scenes had at least a little comedy. The comedy was actually funny, too. Add in an acting class full of goofy teenagers, and I think this will make for a successful scene project. All of the scenes are good overall, with a decided lack of cheesiness (unless it's on purpose). I'm really looking forward to seeing what my class will do with these.
