"Schulman and Meckler have assembled an excellent collection . . . Taken individually, [these] scenes and monologues are full of the trials and tribulations of modern (and, occasionally, not-so-modern) life; they provide ample opportunity for the display of technique . . . This collection deserves a place on the already groaning shelves of scenes and monologues because there is unique material here. Schulman's introduction should become a permanent part of every actor's toolbox, and of every director's memory."—Library Journal

"Speak the Speech! is quite the most detailed introduction to the delights of Shakespeare that I have ever read. Equally useful to the enthusiastic amateur or the dedicated professional, it is a must for any college and worth a place in any private library. Many congratulations."—Terry Hands, Artistic Director Emeritus, The Royal Shakespeare Company

"Stuart Spencer's The Playwright's Guidebook is indispensable. Clearly and thoroughly, Mr. Spencer—a playwright himself—leads all playwrights (not only the beginner) through the travails of creation and the jungle of production. He is to be congratulated."—Edward Albee
