Does anyone have a play or scene from a show that comes to mind for you, something under 5 minutes... Between two men. Can be dramatic, funny. Just needs to be contemporary. Would love some suggestions or places to look!

How contemporary? It's pretty easy to take an excerpt from one of the longer scenes of some of American classics--ie Brick and Big Daddy have a lot you can excerpt and still make sense of in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, or taking five minutes from Albee's The Zoo Story, or something from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, to use three fairly obvious examples.

THE MOTHERF*CKER WITH THE HAT. Plenty of scenes between two men.

You're welcome.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Harold Pinter's NEW WORLD ORDER is only about five minutes and it's terrific.

Finding a contemporary scene for two men is about the easiest thing in the world.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Am I the only one who saw the thread title and, for a fleeting moment, thought the OP was looking for scenes for "little people"? For that moment, I couldn't wait to see the responses.

Ha, now that's all I can think of...

The OP never mentioned what the age range should be--surely that would narrow it down?

I had an audition today for Steve Martin's "WASP" and I think that there are a lot of great scenes perfect for your criteria in the script.

While I was wondering how long one could stretch out that whole Lollipop Guild thing.

OMG! I thought it was just me when I originally read that! I too thought he was looking for a scene for two short actors.

I definitely second the MOTHERF*CKER WITH THE HAT recommendation. That play is awesome. One of my favorites of the last few years, and lots of scenes between men.

Otherwise - it really depends on the age of the actors.

Lots of scenes in:

- OLD WICKED SONGS
- ANGELS IN AMERICA
- THE GOAT OR WHO IS SYLVIA (opening scene with the lead and the friend --- forget the character's names)
- SONS OF THE PROPHET has a couple really great scenes with the lead and the guy he meets in the bus station...
- THE ZOO STORY
- BOEING BOEING (some great two-guy scenes)
- RED (any of it)

I could keep going...
