Book Description

ISBN-10: 0916260666 | ISBN-13: 978-0916260668 | Publication Date: April 1, 1990 | Edition: 1st

Concise, incisive and very funny! These professional-level satirical dialogs are an actor's delight. The characters are exaggerated, talking cartoons. Each short skit gets big laughs, because the dialog bites, stabs and tickles with wit and insight. Sacred cows are skinned alive. Simple staging and costumes. Excellent for drama competitions. Choose from fifty comedy duets. Arranged for two men, two women, one man and one woman or optional men or women. More of the best from a top comedy writer.

This review is from: Doubletalk - 50 Comedy Duets for Actors (Satirical comedy for professional and student actors) (Paperback)

I was rather disapointed in this book. First, every single one of these "duets" contains an "announcer" character in addition to two actors. Some of the scenes require yet another person in addition to the two actors and the announcer. I didn't think the scenes were very funny--many of them consisted of two characters reviewing books, movies, or television. They provide very little challenge for actors.
