 Topic: Good One Man Plays?Posted: 2/02/09 at 2:16pm |

Anyone have any suggestions for a one man play. Genre really doesn't matter, but comedy is preferred.
TIA N2D |

full length?
"Tru" - which is Truman Capote - really good play. "Barrymore" - which is about guess who? LOL "I Am My Own Wife" - amazing and challenging play "Confessions of a NIghtengale" - which is about Tennessee Williams "Tale of Two Cities" - fabulous Charles Ludlam one-man version of the classic "Krapp's Last Tape" - not full length, but a long one act. Beckett "Clarence Darrow" - guess who that's about?! There are actually quite a few ... choices depend a lot on the actor's type - age - etc. |

If your searching for this one, (and unless there is more than one) the full title is "Barrymore's Ghost" and agree with Tristan, its a good one..

How about "Mark Twain Tonight"? That was the Hal Holbrook thing, though I don't know if it is an "official" play.

You do not mention age and length requirements. However, I do have a one-man showcase piece available. I can email as an attachment if interested. Breakdown follows:
TITLE: Arctic Quest PLAYWRIGHT: Linda Stockham GENRE: Historical, surrealistic tragedy. LOGLINE: An American physician reflects on his ill-fated 1900 expedition to the North Pole. CAST: DR. ANDREW WILLIAMS, aged 59. SCENIC REQUIREMENT: It is a bare stage with grayish-white scrims and equally dismal, inexpressibly painted flats. The set consists of part of a gondola and the deflated gasbag of a hydrogen balloon airship. The name Arctic Quest is painted on the side of the gondola that faces the audience. (Relative simple scenic design.) TIME: August 1900. COPYRIGHTED: 2001. RUNNING TIME: 20 minutes. NOTE: This play is ideally suited as a showcase piece for a senior actor. This play has had one play-reading but no fully-staged production to date. |

Ms. Stockham, I would be very interested in reading your piece. Could you contact me about how to get a copy?
Thanks. tristan@manmadequilts.com |
