Double Feature brings together - in two volumes of paired short plays - four of the most exciting new voices in UK theatre; in their first commissions for the National Theatre. This volume contains: Nightwatchman by Prasanna Puwanarajah There is a War by Tom Basden In Nightwatchman a British Sri Lankan cricketer prepares for the innings of her life for England against Sri Lanka at Lords. Facing a relentless bowling machine she challenges our preconceptions of politi; sport and national pride as harshly as she challenges her own. There is a War is a miniature epic that explores the mad savagery of war with biting black comedy; and takes us into the dark heart of a strange and surreal conflict. As soldiers; priests and scavengers roam a battle-scorched landscape; a young medical officer finds herself abandoned and useless; unable to locate the hospital or even the war she was promised. The plays premiered in a specially converted space at the National Theatre in July 2011. They were performed alongside Edgar Annabel by Sam Holcroft and The Swan by DC Moore; published in the companion volume Double Feature: One. sharp; funny and fizzing with invention - The Times marvellously incisive - Independent a sharp satire with an irresistibly silly strain - Financial Times

We practiced pieces together so I decided to buy my own. Now the funny part is that when I got it; I realized that my book was more extensive than the guy whose book I had been playing out of. I was delighted but puzzled. Upon comparing the two books together; found that mine was actually the teachers score and his was just violin. It was a very wonderful mistake!! Love this book!!! I play all the pieces basic and advance and enjoy playing with the CD which really makes the book very special to me. It feels like a daily bluegrass jam. I recommend this book for anyone who likes the sound of Irish melodies. Good for a beginner or for someone like me that has played off and on over 50 years.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Incorrect versionBy Joseph D. HeiningeOrdered the violin version but received the cello version instead. I am surprised this error has not been corrected; as other reviewers have been commenting about this issue for over a year now.Furthermore; the book appears to have been scanned at a low resolution. The text and notes are legible; but are not very clear on my iPad screen. The attached images should give you an idea of the quality; and show that bass clef is used instead of treble clef.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great for Students Beginner-Advanced.By Brittany JohnsonGreat Tunes in a wonderful layout! The book has the basic tune; advanced tune; and back-up all on one page. The improvisation suggestions in the back are great and will keep students that are on multiple levels entertained. I also love that the lyrics and story behind each tune are posted as well as a few great pictures on each page. Its a great book to use individually or in a group setting because they provide you with 2 versions of the tune and back-up.
