Items related to The Things We Said Today: Short Plays and Monologues
Things We Said Today features the scripts for Neil LaBute's Ground-breaking Direct project 10x10 - a series of short films written and directed by LaBute based on ten compelling original monologues, five each for men and women. Also included are five short plays displaying the power and scope of Neil LaBute's creative vision. In Pick One, written for Young Vic's Theatre Uncut project, three white guys come up with a way to solve America's problems; in The Possible, one young woman seduces another's boyfriend for an unexpected reason. Call Back features an actress and actor who spar about a past encounter that she, unnervingly, remembers much better than he does. Good Luck (In Farsi), "a pleasingly astringent study in competitiveness and vanity" (The New York Times) has two actresses pulling out all the stops in a pre-audition psych out; and in Squeeze Play a father and his son's baseball coach strike a mutually beneficial deal.
