Duet for Solo Voice
I am seeking further performance opportunities for “Duet for Solo Voice” by David Scott Milton.The play is a dark comedy about Leonard Pelican, a paranoid night clerk in a seedy Times Square hotel, circa 1970, who thinks that the Russians are coming…for him! He is pursued throughout the play by his paranoid fantasy: a KGB agent named Vassily Ilianovich Chort.
The play, then, is the eccentric whirl of Leonard’s entrapment of Chort while the gravelly-voiced Bolshevik is zeroing in for the kill. I play both parts. It’s a play of lively absurdity, cruel comedy and pathos, with hilarious chase scenes and madcap physical comedy.
