Sixth Wife by Gill Medway |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 2. Minimum total without doubling = 3. No chorus. Two live characters plus a voicemail announcement which is assumed to be prerecorded (as is the nature of such things). |
Run Time | Around 13 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | A nice twist on the monologue format as the script jumps between Roy and Cathy's reflections on Roy's past wives and their upcoming marriage. A simple set, two good characters with fun, witty dialogue would make a good challenge for a pair of actors. |
Synopsis | No, not that sixth wife. Roy is about to get married for the sixth time. But do he and the bookish Cathy have that much in common? |
