So I'm in somewhat of a bind, and I'd love your help. I just got accepted into an intense directing class I didn't think I had a shot at, so I now have to make the right choice of play to produce. Something that turns my crank and can sustain interest/analysis for seven months.
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and "Push Up 1/3" are my two favorite plays, which I'd absolutely adore to do.
BUT, the play has to be: one act, no more than an hour, and with 2 to 5 characters. It eliminates those two.
I'm looking for one that fits into those characteristics, with witty, fast-paced and biting dialogue a la Edward Albee. Words that don't beat around the bush. zing. The Zoo Story and The American Dream have already been done in the class, so they are sadly eliminated.
Any suggestions? I'd be forever grateful.
Also - I've assitant directed before but never been at the helm of my own show. I'm thoroughly scared, especially as many students in the class have. Any advice?

I have recently come across one of the finest one-act plays I have ever read. It is by one of my colleagues here in Connecticut. If you message me through this group, I'll tell you more about it and get in touch with the playwright.
