Like many CTs' we have far more women who want to act than men although most plays have more roles for men.   We want to present a night of short (10 to 30 minute) scenes with high conflict themes casting only women.  We are looking for public domain or royalty free plays.

Any ideas?

I agree that you get what you pay for but I'm looking for scenes from the classics and not so classic.  I already have a scene from Moliere's Misanthrope and the are probably some Shakespeare scenes too.  There is a great scene in Noel Coward's Fallen Angels but it isn't in the public domain yet.

Ah....then I misunderstood.  Thought you were looking for entire scripts.  That's what I get for not "listening."    You're correct, there should be plenty  from Shakespeare & Moliere.   You might want to look at a few of the Greek tragedies as well.

There's a scene between Electra and her mother, Clytemnestra, in Electra. I'm thinking the Aeschylus version. Electra attacks her mother for killing her father, re-marrying, and forcing Electra to live in poverty. It's fantastic.
