Written to be performed by two actors of any age, gender, race, accent, or background, this short comedic piece pulls inspiration from theatre of the absurd. Originally premiering in a university student one-act festival, this play has gone on to be included in other university and high school play festivals. Published by Brooklyn Publishers in 1999 (along with five other works by the same author under his pen name, DJ Sanders), this has become a fun option for duet competitions and play festivals.

Very Experimental: a play about you

Recommended by

  • Steven G. Martin: Very Experimental: a play about you

    "That would be absurd." And that would be the point of DJ Kaiser's brief, table-turning comedy. I especially love that "Very Experimental: a play about you" is going to create some tension between the actors and the audience. Brief and comical tension, but still palpable and interesting to experience.

    Meta done so very right! I laughed out loud at several lines in this play. This would be the perfect play to open a short play festival. A fun piece for student actors and professionals alike. I especially adore "curtain call!"
