Hello all!
I'm looking for a good screwball/zany/fast paced comedy. Something that isn't your usual Ray Cooney door=slamming farce. A few titles that have been suggested in the past were "Rumours" by Neil Simon and "Room Service" by Allen Boretz and John Murray. Something that doesn't go crazy with the cast size (12 or less) would be ideal. Thanks! |

I have a few community theatre plays that might work well for you.
Check out The Bold, The Young, and The Murdered - here's the description from my publisher:
"The long-running soap opera The Bold and the Young is in its last days: its hunky hero has self-esteem issues, its villainous old man is more interested in soup, and its heroines are slightly psychopathic. The executive producer gives the squabbling cast an ultimatum: Complete one episode overnight or the show dies. But when the director ends up murdered, and other cast members start dropping like flies, it seems like his threat might actually come true. Can these misfits discover the murderer before the show is literally killed off?"
You can read it online here - (just click on "read free sample") -
And I have a brand new play, The Tell-Tale Farce, - about to be published, but still looking for a world premiere
"It's 1848, and Edgar Allen Poe is just coming off the spectacular success of the Raven. Unfortunately, it's only earned him a grand total of nine dollars. So when a wealthy dowager commissions him to write her an immortal love poem for the vast sum of one hundred dollars, he leaps at the chance. Only problem: the poet who shows up to write the poem isn't Poe, he's Poe's mailman, and he's on a quest to woo the dowager's spinster daughter. Pretending to be Poe is harder than it looks, though, epecially when your mustache keeps falling off, the teenage grand-daughter of the house is madly in love with you, and Poe's arch-nemesis, Rufus Griswold, just happens to be dropping by to settle old scores. A door-slamming, closet-hiding farce of unspeakable evil. "
I can send you that script if you're interested.
