I'm looking for a one act show to pair with "The Last Flapper". Here are my parameters: cast of three or under, black box or representational set, dark comedy or drama, for actors in the age range of 25-40. If you have a recommendation, please, please, please...include your reasoning for why it would be a good choice. I'm looking for something that complements "The Last Flapper" or that intuitively rounds out the pairing. Thanks!

One you might consider is http://www.one-act-plays.com/comedies/porcelain_and_pink.html - PorcelainAndPink by F Scott Fitzgerald which is now in the public domain according to the web site. I'm not familiar with the content of "Flapper" other than it is a one-woman show about Zelda.

As I read through it, the challenges in staging and presentation (especially given your constraints) really intrigued me, hope it does the same for you.

Thanks! What a great suggestion - a Fitzgerald piece would intellectually complement "The Last Flapper" beautifully. I look forward to reading it.

You're welcome!

However, I hope this doesn't derail the thread and stop other suggestions. Would love to hear any other possibilities and the corresponding rationale.

Any takers?
