  • Small-Cast Classic Plays - Clarification

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 7 04:57:27 2016
    I spend a great deal.of often frustrating time looking for classic plays with small casts currently looking for 4/5m 2/3f. Recent projects include winters tale and 12th night with 8/9. These included lots of doubling but without making the play about
    the changes. I've seen All Well that ends well and cymbeline with casts of 5/6/7 both worked really well. i work for an actor training company in exeter uk so have to consider playing age to some extent.
    I often look at Ibsen , stringberg, checkout, Shaw - arms and the man widowers houses and Candida are great.
    If anyone has managed to find other Shakespeare or 16/17 th century plays that work with small cast I'd like to hear.

    Thanks

    If it was me I'd go down the root of "the Price" by Arthur Miller, under performed classic with a cast of four
