2 Women Scenes

Posted: 12/17/04 at 3:45pm

Does anyone know any really good, dramatic scenes for two women? It would have to be between 5 adn 15 minutes. It can be from a show, or just a scene. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a lot of good stuff out there. Tell us the ages and types of the actresses.

There are a few wonderful scenes between the maid and nora (ok i cant remember her name) in a doll's house. A very powerful woman and her maid who is really the mother to the children. It's a great scene with the dress when the maid brings it in. It is about 5 minutes long.

We're 16 and 17, and I'd prefer younger-ish characters, but it really doesn't matter. Thanks for everyone's help!

There's one from "PROOF" (proof is going to be in theaters, as a movie, very soon)... It's a girl whose father is dieing and her sister. Very dramatic

This is a comedy, but tucked into The Women is a scene between the maid and the cook, and it is exposition exposition exposition and then plot points. It can be however, very funny. Think Irish.

Get someone to direct you.

Have fun.

Agnes of God is a 3-woman play, but they're almost never all on stage at the same time. Most of the scenes are with 2 of them. Great play.

There's a scene from a show called "Fallen Angel." I've never read the show, but the scene was pretty cool.

If ages really don't matter, there's a scene in Marsha Norman's "Third and Oak" which is also really good. High stakes, lots of character background. One character is about 24 or so, and the other is probably late 40s.
