Hello (: In my drama class we are required to do a duo scene. My partner and I are both female, 17 years old, and we are having the most DIFFICULT time finding a scene. if ya'll could help that would be absolutely FANTASTIC! we dont have a preference to whether its a drama or comedy but it does need to be 8-10 minutes long from a full length contemporary play (1950-present day). and if you could... have lots of different choices for us to pick because we may have done that play before or someone else may be doing it. i know beggars cant be choosers but... im begging you!!!! HELPP! (: SO!! theather geeks.... drama nerds... band together and help us find a kick ass duo scene! pretty please? I LOVE YOU ALL!
xoxo fellow drama nerd :))

Okay, so I'm on the speech team and this is usually what we need for a duo piece.
I do't know names, because, the best ones are from books of short stories/skits.
Go to amazon.com
type in what you want, I understand that you don't care-comedy/drama. But if you have an idea, your preformance will be so much better.
So, anyway, type in short stories and then a keyword like rape/abuse/funny/drama just random stuff.
THEN, because no one wants to spend money:), go to your public library and see if they have these books.
Thats what I do, and since my library has an online website that I can put holds on, it makes it all the more convienet.
IF all else fails, just go with the ones suggested below.

Try something out of there. Hope I helped :) [ brilliantblair's advice column | Ask brilliantblair A Question ]
