In a small Maternity Ward, Sister
Mitchell and Nurse Walker have to contend with four
pregnant women and their other half's (or mother
in one case) each with different reasons for being
pregnant and different views on births, deaths and
marriages. It may sound like an unlikely setting
for a comedy play, but Janet Shaw has a talent for
turning the most incongruous situation and poking
fun at it, or the people in it. Great fun! |
| Stopped
Interrupting (4m, 4f) |
| |
A play within a play (sort of). When
a performance looks likely to be cancelled due to
a missing actor, the author of the play agrees to
stand in for him. A few minutes into Act One, the
cast are perturbed by a lady member of the audience
standing up and claiming that she wrote the play
not the supposed 'author' on stage. It transpires
that they were in love many years ago, but broke
up and haven't seen each other since. Did the script
get snaffled? Why did they break up? How will the
cast cope with this unusual and testing situation? |
| The
Village Hall (9m, 8f) four 30 min linked one-act
plays (or play 2, 3 or 4 in combination) |
| |
That hallowed institution - the Village Hall,
scene of unparalleled local country dramas is the
setting for these four comedy plays. Each play stands
up in its own right, but the quartet could be played
together in many combinations. Each play features
one or two main characters and their particular
use of the Hall, a Jumble Sale, the Amateur Dramatics
group, the scout's Gang Show and the Wedding Reception.. |
