The latest two one act plays are very different S.P.AC.E is a zany two hander for women: Crazy is a woman lost in chaos, her house is a mess of clutter and junk. Her mind is a mess of memories, guilt and emotions she can't handle. In short, she can't cope. That's when her alter ego Sanity turns up to help but they can't find much in common. Working through the problems and the clutter they eventually find peace, harmony and Space! Laughter and tears....and a bit of Zumba ! Great fun as a short play for "women of a certain age"
Room No.5 is a revised version of my play Box. This is a theatre of the Absurd mystery set in a psychiatric hospital where characters become other characters and we are left guessing who is the patients and who are the medical staff. If you like dark, weird and mysterious this might be for your group. Two females and three males - with an extra actor "in the box" A great bit of fun and madness.
Both plays can be found at www.scripts4stage.com or on Amazon
Other new plays include a short drama My Life Unspoken. A woman nursing her dying husband is taken back to her past by the visit from a stranger. Jessie's Tree a play for young people and saga through the 2Oth century. 4 separate scenes the first set in 1918 just after WW1 two children form an unlikely friendship through grief. then in 1940, two local children meet two evacuees. In 1967 a group of teenagers learn first hand about the reality of loss in the summer of love until finally its Halloween 1999 and Jess's birthday party reveals a secret that links all the generations. Funny, sad and heart warming a great play for schools and youth groups.
