Duets is a compendium of four one-act comedies for two people in different combinations - sometimes male/female, sometimes two females, and sometimes two males. With minimal settings, they make ideal festival pieces, or just combine them to make an evening of fun.
Included in this edition are: The Extraordinary Revelations of Orca The Goldfish (1m, 1f) For Henry Smith - actor, leading socialite, business tycoon, secret agent, casanova and acting President of the United States - life was rarely dull. For Alice Smith - housewife - life was rarely anything else. Enter Michel - French waiter - tall, dark and available. Exactly what happened next, no-one's quite sure, except that it involved a rotting melon, and deckchair and a bottle of neck-rub. Fantasy blurs into reality. Secret passions explode. And two worlds which seemed a million miles apart are suddenly on a collision course. It could only happen to Henry and Alice. And only their pet goldfish, Orca, and you, will ever know the true story. ...........................................................
Late Entry (1m, 1f) "Tristram at his brilliant best. Biting wit and beautifully observed satire. Superb spoof one-handed play, followed by a cruel and entirely justified lampoon of an adjudicator. Should be compulsory viewing for all adjudicators, and indeed, everybody with a love of theatre." Chris Jaeger - Chairman, GODA ........................................................... Peas (1m, 1f) Gerry and Daisy are the first to test out a new dating agency. They soon discover just how much they have in common. ........................................................... Carrot (2m) The Managing Director of an ailing roofing bolt manufacturer has an unusual proposition for his Union Representative. Can he accept without compromising his principles? |
