Synopsis:

Duologues are short scenes between two actors. They are used by drama school examining boards, students for their final year showcases and professional actors' training centres. They provide a concentrated way of practising skills and encourage actors to listen and respond. This collection of 45 duologues is selected from a range of plays, from Elizabethan to contemporary. Helpful advice is given in the book by contributors such as Tom Stoppard, April De Angelis and Don Taylor.
