Playing a Part

A saxophone teacher becomes the confidant for

the sister of the student

who is scandalized by the senior band teacher

and the outcast who befriends the sister.

A drama student becomes involved with the sister

while rehearsing for a play starring the scandal.

The Rehearsal by Eleanor Catton provides a unique script. The reader turns player if only to figure out who is being fed their lines, who is improvising, and who is playing whom.
