As an actor at any level whether you are doing theatre studies at school, taking part in youth theatre, preparing for drama-school showcases, or attending professional acting workshops you will often be required to prepare a duologue with a fellow performer
Your success is often based on locating and selecting a fresh, dynamic scene suited to your specific performing skills, as well as your interplay as a duo
Which is where this book comes in
This Collection features twenty-five contemporary duologues for Two Women by some of our most exciting dramatic voices, offering a wide variety of character types and styles of writing
Playwrights include Alexi Kaye Campbell, Helen Edmundson, Vivienne Franzmann, Sam Holcroft, Anna Jordan, Chloë Moss, Rona Munro, Lynn Nottage, Evan Placey and Jessica Swale
Drawing on her experience as an actor, director and teacher at several leading drama schools, editor Trilby James equips each duologue with a thorough introduction
Each duologue includes all the vital information you need to place the piece in context (the who, what, when, where and why)
And each includes suggestions about how to perform the scene to its maximum effect (including the characters' objectives)
The collection also features an introduction on the whole process of selecting and preparing a duologue
And how to present it to the greatest effect
The result is the most comprehensive and useful contemporary duologue book of its kind now available
