THE GOOD AUDITION GUIDES: Helping you select and perform the
audition piece that is best suited to your performing skills 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 fantastic duologues for one man and
one woman, all written since the year 2000 by some of our most
exciting dramatic voices, offering a wide variety of character
types and styles of writing. Playwrights featured include Howard
Brenton, Jez Butterworth, Caryl Churchill, Sam Holcroft, Anna
Jordan, Lucy Kirkwood, Rona Munro, Evan Placey, Jessica Swale and
Jack Thorne, and the plays themselves were premiered at the very
best theatres across the UK including the National Theatre,
Manchester Royal Exchange, the Traverse in Edinburgh, Shakespeare's
Globe, and the Almeida, Bush, Hampstead and Royal Court Theatres.
Drawing on her experience as an actor, director and teacher at
several leading drama schools, Trilby James equips each duologue
with a thorough introduction including the vital information you
need to place the piece in context (the who, what, when, where and
why) and 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. 'Sound practical advice...
a source of inspiration for teachers and students alike' Teaching
