About the Play:

Epic Love and Pop Songs has become a favourite of acting teachers for Female Monologues, Male Monologues, and Female/Male Scenes.

Epic Love and Pop Songs is a full-length drama by Phoebe Eclair-Powell. Remember your best friend? No, the other one. The one that liked to lie. Maybe it's time they 'fessed up. Maybe Doll and Ted should start telling the truth. Epic Love and Pop Songs is a smart, funny play about love, teenage friendship, and growing up.

Epic Love and Pop Songs is a two-hander about about teenage friendship and the pressures of growing up. Doll and Ted are two platonic best friends, and self-proclaimed freaks. Doll is on the mic, Ted on backing vocals, they are storytellers. Lies brought them together but the truth could tear them apart. This is what happens when the lights come on, you're singing your heart out, you've been sick on your shoes, and you realize you might just have to grow up. Epic Love and Pop Songs is a unique and unusual story about friendship, love, loss and lies, set to the sounds of live epic pop songs.

Epic Love and Pop Songs was first performed at the Pleasance Dome during the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a cast of fresh young drama school graduates. The play has become a favourite scene study vehicle in acting classes and workshops and is regularly performed in fringe and school theatre productions.

Cast: 1 female, 1 male
