"Two Hands Clapping " is a goldmine for actors seeking two-person plays. This volume features full-length, one act, and short scripts for two actors. The playwrights are Canadian and are working from coast to coast and most regions in between. Established writers appear in this collection, as well as voices that are just beginning to make their mark in Canadian theatre. The plays in "Two Hands Clapping " have appeared on the main stage, in alternative theatres or non-traditional theatre spaces, at the fringe, and/or in professional workshops. Some of the plays have toured nationally and internationally. This volume also includes in-depth interviews with playwrights, focusing on the challenges and satisfactions of writing a play for two actors. "Two Hands Clapping " is a valuable source book for theatre students and teachers seeking new plays of varying lengths for production in festivals or other performance opportunities. It is also an excellent place to find two-actor scene work and--of course--to discover new voices, as well as new work by some of your favourite Canadian playwrights.
