1983-1984 Season
Dark Deeds at Swan’s Place, by Tim Kelly
This sparkling entertainment is loaded with laughs and seedy jokes. Montague Leech and Carlota Castanet make a tidy profit shanghaiing lads from a disreputable tavern. The owner expires leaving the tavern to his only heir, Bertha Birthright. Montague must get rid of the damsel. Enter Jack Swan, English sailor with a love for the theatre. He offers Bertha protection and the hilarity mounts, especially after gold is discovered. An optional miniature musical revue can easily be added to the plot. Designed for easy rehearsals and no production problems, Dark Deeds can be expanded or shortened to a desired length.
"A classic melodrama...Plenty here to boo, hiss and sigh about...Sparkling dialogue. Worth seeing." - News Chronicle
Play On, by Rick Abbot
Perfect for any performing group, this is the hilarious story of a theatre group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong, does. When the author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax and a thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter.
