duologues
This profile has been archived
Hello all, wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for this. Am taking part in a showcase and need to find a good contemporary light-hearted/comic duologue for a pair of women in their 20's and seem to have hit a blank on this one. Every piece I think of involves one women being slightly older or isn't a modern naturalistic piece..oh yeah your basic kitchen sink drama rather than anything non-naturalistic. Not that it can't be expressionistic, actually just any ideas would be good! x
There's a nice duologue for 2 women in "No-one See The Video" by Martin Crimp. It's about a market research survey. Quite funny.

I great one I think is in The Importance of Being Ernest between Gwendoline & Cecily. Not sure if that's modern enough for you though.....

Thanks for that Mark, will look that one up. Important of being Earnest isn't quiet contemprary enough unfortunately but all input is much appreciated, cheers guys! x
Low Level Panic by Claire McIntyre is good, but might be a bit 'done' , not sure.

Sarah Daniels is a gd writer for female stuff, strong and opinionated. I had 2 students do a duologue from Ripen Our Darkness which was very contemporary (about one of them 'coming out' to her mother)and issues on life in general. Age is Uni students as well so suits... Strong character work available there.

Wendy Wasserstein wrote "The Heidi Chronicles" and thats got some good stuff.,
Theres also "The Sisters Rosensweig". Also look at Neil Simon, he has somne wonderful comedy.
Yes, all Jewish writers..some of the best comedy in the world, to be honest!!!

Right need to pack and try to negotiate getting all my luggage into a single micro tiny (seemed like a good idea at the time) suitcase. Am off to New York tomorrow, wish me luck! x
