I'm going to offer a collection that is very different from that, where I'll be doing all the BC and editing (probably not turning down any volunteer help!) and all folks need to do is offer their voices. A couple of years ago I BC'd the plays by Dickens, several of which were in the One Act Play collections and the other couple standalone. I have now found a book of "Short Plays From Dickens for the Use of Amateur and School Dramatic Societies" https://archive.org/details/cu31924014524874 This book has 20 short (10-20 minute) plays pulled from scenes and dialogs in various books and other writings by Dickens, and I am going to offer the entire book of them. Soon.
Thanks, Todd
Now that the next One Act Play Collection is nearly full, I have posted Short Plays from Dickens.
Hi All,
Can you tell me a little about what it means to record a play and how it's done? I looked around for some tips, but wasn't able to find anything--I'm sure I was staring right at it, just couldn't see it....
Thanks,
Kieren
I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I am including a short play in this year's Christmas Short Works Collection. I wanted to put a little blurb about it here, in case some of our dramatists might be interested but don't happen to wander over to the short works forum. It's still in early stages, but so far, I still need a narrator and two children, a boy and a girl. (And of course, these roles are gender- and age-neutral.)
Not sure if this is the place to post, but can anyone please direct me to any plays (one-act, full-length, anything) that are for TWO PEOPLE (ideally one man and one woman)?

I actually happened to run across this one. It does have a third but it appears (without reading the whole thing) they have very few lines.
Thanks! I found it in the One-Act Plays bookshelf on Gutenberg, it's very useful. I'm also looking for other two-person things though - any full-length plays with two people, or maybe poetry that's meant to be read by two?
This looks interesting, with possibilities for the One Act Play collections:
Book of mock trials: containing fourteen original plays, representing humorous court-room scenes, adapted to the limits of the parlor, and arranged for public or private performances
