"Duets"  

 

Duets is a compendium of four one-act plays for two people - some previously published, some not - ideal for festivals, or just for an evening of fun. 

 

In this edition are: 

 

The Extraordinary Revelations of Orca The Goldfish 

(1m, 1f) 

For Henry Smith - actor, comedian, raconteur, sporting hero, leading socialite, business tycoon, secret agent, casanova and acting President of the United States - life was rarely dull. For Alice Smith - housewife - life was rarely anything else. Enter Michel - French waiter - tall, dark and available. Exactly what happened next, no-one's quite sure, except that it involved a rotting melon, and deckchair and a bottle of neck-rub. Fantasy blurs into reality. Secret passions explode. And two worlds which seemed a million miles apart are suddenly on a collision course. It could only happen to Henry and Alice. And only their pet goldfish, Orca, and you, will ever know the true story.

Late Entry 

(1m, 1f)  

"Tristram at his brilliant best. Biting wit and beautifully observed satire. Superb spoof one-handed play, followed by a cruel and entirely justified lampoon of an adjudicator. Should be compulsory viewing for all adjudicators, and indeed, everybody with a love of theatre."    Chris Jaeger - Chairman, GODA

Peas 

(1m, 1f) 

Gerry and Daisy are the first to test out a new dating agency. They soon discover just how much they have in common.

Carrot 

(2m)
