One player onstage speaks for all the other players in the scene, as well as for themselves. That’s why we call it doublespeak.
Example
Player A: Mr. Henderson, I want to talk to you?
Player A speaking for Player B: You want to talk to me Mr. Wilkins, is it about the missing money?
Player A: Missing money?! Security!
Player A speaking for Player C who has just entered: You called for Security Mr Wilkins?
Player A speaking for Player B: Mr. Wilkins, I can explain!
Notes
You can have the person doing all the speaking use different voices and even different accents.
It does help if the other players move their mouths when their character is speaking.
Who leads, the person who talks or the person who initiates movement and/or moves their mouth?
This is fun
As a two-person scene, DoubleSpeak can be played as a Master/Servant scene.
Set it up
When I set this up on stage, I ask the audience to choose one of us. I do not tell them why they are choosing one of us. Then I explain the challenge.
