Plays for two men — plays for two M/M. Friends, brothers, colleagues, rivals, father and son — two male voices in a living dialogue. A rare genre in Russian dramaturgy — and a distinct part of the Chitacle repertoire.
Why plays for two M/M are a special genre
In the theatrical tradition there are male monologues, male multi-act plays, male parts in mass scenes. A pure play for two M/M — is met rarely. Chitacle has assembled a collection of original male plays for two, in which the whole scene is built on two male voices.
This is new material for a male conversation, which in contemporary culture almost lacks a genre form.
What these plays are about
- Friends an old friendship tested by time.
- Brothers a family history for two.
- Father and son a generational dialogue.
- Colleagues a work conflict crossing into the personal.
- Rivals without a woman-object, an argument about principle.
- Strangers a chance meeting on the road or in a bar.
How to read on Chitacle
In the Dressing Room leave email and check the box. If the preferences indicate a partner of the same sex (for men — a man), Chitacle will pick a play for two M/M and a male partner. At the appointed time the curtain parts.
This is a format of partner reading of two men — for those who want a male conversation about what matters without alcohol, without formalities, without "how are you."
Who this suits
- Friends who want an unusual format of meeting.
- M/M couples for whom this is part of shared life.
- Actors — for practice.
- Drama school students — for partner work.
- Men for whom the form of substantive conversation matters.
