Hints & tips

  • This duologue is ideal for Initial exams – but can also be used at other levels.
  • Either of the characters Ant and Bee can be male or female.
  • The only prop needed in this duologue is something which looks like a mango smoothie (Plastic cup with some juice, a lid and a straw )
  • The performers could be standing throughout
  • Or you could use a table and chairs – then you could put the smoothie down on the table and move it about.
