For Sale - Baby Shoes - Never Worn by Damian Trasler |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 2. Minimum total without doubling = 4. No chorus. The work is divided into three pieces, each for 1M, 1F. In theory the same pair of actors could play the roles in all three - one member of the couple in the first part appears in each of the succeeding parts. |
Run Time | Around 40 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | A sort of triptych for the stage. Three linked short plays, with minimal sets - essentially three stage blocks and a few props. |
Synopsis | The story goes that Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a novel in six words. His response was 'For sale - baby shoes, never worn.' Damian Trasler takes each part of that phrase as the starting point of a short play - three stories in the life of a young couple, not necessarily going in the direction you might expect. |
