Looking to post a short play soonish because I cannot get people I know to give me harsh criticism on that poo poo.

Size wise though, in the past we've done small cast dramas with 3-6 people, stuff like Neil Labute. With monologue shows we do about 8 people like Blown Sideways Through Life and The Reindeer Monologues. Brokenville by Phillip Ridley Bones by Peter Straughen (all male cast but has been performed - hilariously - with all female casts as well) I also know an award-winning semipro playwright who does small cast dramas for young people, in which case you'd probably be able to get something royalty-free that your group had never seen before. In particular her plays Who Killed Lauren Swift' - a drama about young people, violence and regret - and The Slick and the Dead, an amazing tragicomedy about 20-something bank robbers who watch too many movies and think they're 'sticking it to the man'. They're 4 and 6 actors respectively iirc and great fun to act in and direct.

Darkoni posted:Thank you so much everyone. I'll check them out right away. You won't be able to find the last two I mentioned online but if you're interested I can put you in contact with the playwright. ETA: You can find Lauren Swift on the Debut festival by googling it. Just not The Slick and the Dead, which was actually my favourite of the two. loki k zen fucked around with this message at 21:38 on May 9, 2014 |
