Ah! So very very many good scenes . . . . it really depends on if you want comic or dramatic, but here are some plays with great male/female scenes. (It's always best to do a scene from a full play if you can, since the more fully realized world makes for a better, more realistic scene)

Proof -- great stuff between Hal and Catherine (and just a really excellent play)

Danny in the Deep Blue Sea -- main relationship is man/woman

A Streetcar Named Desire -- Blanche/ Stanley or Stella/Stanley, very powerful play

Pretty much anything by Neil Simon for comic -- he wrote really great, fun characters and great relationships!

there are so very very many more, and every bookstore has books with scenes for a man and a woman, so shop around, you'll find something you love! (If you're in the NYC area, Drama Books (off 5th, I think) is an excellent resource, with just about every play ever written.)

It depends on their ages, so I'll make a few suggestions for each age group.

For teenagers through mid-twenties:
1. "This is Our Youth" by Kenneth Lonergan- any scene between Warren and Jessica
2. "Romeo and Juliet" - any scene between those two lovers
3. "The Diary of Anne Frank" by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett - the scene between Anne and Peter ("I still believe in spite of everything that people are really good at heart")


For young adults through age thirty:
1. "Love Letters" by A. R. Gurney - any scene
2. "The Rainmaker" by N. Richard Nash - the "name" scene between Lizzie and Starbuck
3. "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry - any scene between Ruth or Beneatha and Walter
4. "Barefoot in the Park" by Neil Simon - the "in the apartment" scene between Corie and Paul

For adults over thirty:
1. "Whose Life is it Anyway?" by Brian Clarke - the "I'd rather not go on living like this" scene between Mrs. Boyle and Ken
2. "Elizabeth the Queen" by Maxwell Anderson - the "Are you ready to give up/Your crown to me?" scene between Elizabeth and Essex
3. "The Miracle Worker" by William Gibson - the arguement between Kate and Keller

For mixed ages:
1. "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde - the interview between Jack and Lady Bracknell
2. "Harvey" by Mary Chase - the doctor visit scene between Veta and Sanderson
3. "Everybody Loves Opal" by John Patrick - the scene between the Doctor and Opal

Answer 4

Check out "Hello, Out there" by William Saroyan. It's a great one act for two.

Answer 5

Romeo and Juliet!
