  • 1.  Classical Scenes for Women

    Posted 03-22-2019 14:06
    Hello,

    I'm looking for classical Greek scenes for females (2 or 3 females).  Any suggestions? 
    Thanks for your help and resources.

    Best,

    Russ

    THE TROJAN WOMEN has several excellent scenes for two women.

    Euripides' Helen has a scene between Theonoe (prophetess) and Helen (of Troy).  Menelaus is technically standing there, but you can just stop before his speech.

    If you ever need an amazing male/female scene, the Gatekeeper in that play tells off two different kings who try to be all, "you're a slave and a woman, let me by" and she shuts them DOWN.

    Also, Medea is meant to have a Chorus of Women, so the conversations between Medea and the Chorus Leader would be two women.
