Browse with filtersThis is a hand-picked collection of drama duologues for actors in Ireland. Irish auditions — for The Lir Academy, the Gaiety School of Acting and Bow Street, as well as screen casting in Dublin — favour material with genuine emotional stakes and a strong sense of voice. A well-chosen contemporary piece in your own accent often lands harder than a borrowed one.
Strong dramatic material rewards restraint: a clear want, real stakes, and a turn the audience can watch happen. The best audition drama pieces build to one earned moment rather than living at full intensity from the first line. A duologue lives on genuine listening and a real relationship between two people, so choose a scene where both characters want something specific from each other.
For The Lir or the Gaiety School of Acting, lean into pieces with real specificity of place and relationship — work that shows you can inhabit a character rather than perform an idea of one.
Choosing the right piece
- ·Pick a duologue that sits inside your honest playing age and casting type.
- ·Time it against the brief — running over is one of the most common reasons strong actors get cut.
- ·Make a specific, active choice about who you are talking to and what you need from them.
- ·Have a contrasting piece ready so you can show range if the panel asks for more.
