Greetings, folks. I have about 6 weeks with no project coming up (horror!) so my girlfriend and I were thinking about cobbling something together to fill the gap. Looking for a 1m+1f piece, we're both in our 30s, so age-appropriateish would be helpful. I've got a handful of prospectives from going through the Samuel French listing online, but nothing's jumping out on me yet. |

| "Talley's Folly" by Lanford Wilson (Dramatists Play Service) is a pretty darn good show. Excellent "character" opportunity. |

Six one-act plays and one full-length http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/cgi-bin/Search_Results.asp?iMM=1&iMF=1&iXM=1&iXF=1&iMT=30&iAR=4&iC%281%29=2&iC%2813%29=2&iC%2821%29=1 - listed here . The full length play is set in London in the 1960s [though written a year or so ago], so might need a bit of adaptation to an American context. ------------- Stuart Lazy Bee Scripts http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk - http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk read complete play scripts on-line |

I agree with First Night. Cute show. Also look at Marriage Is Murder. ------------- The Main Thing is to Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing |

| Oh, excellent -- First Night caught my eye browsing through the Samuel French catalog, I had it on my short list. Just ordered a copy. |

Got First Night in the mail yesterday, so we cuddled up on the couch last night and read it through. GAH! Adorable! Love it! And the characters are an excellent fit for us. I think we have a winner, going to run it past the church where we're prospecting running it today. Interesting though -- I got my copy via amazon.com marketplace, and it's not the Samuel French copy, I'm guessing it's an earlier release ... didn't notice anything in there about an unsigned contract... I wonder how different the SF version is. |

"Montana Love Story: Charlie and Nancy Russell" by Robert L. Yowell. A wonderful play about one of America's great artists. It is in the "Love Letters" genre. No set needed or pros. Just appropriate costumes for the period. To contact the playwright, go to: robert.yowell@nau.edu

Odd, then -- sounds like SF needs to actually read the play before writing the synopsis. Also interesting -- you can license through Baker's Plays or SF. French is $75 per performance; Baker's is $60. |

May I suggest "Tied Up At The Office"?
Julia has been working late at the office with her boss Geoff. The trouble is, the place has been robbed and ransacked and the villains have departed leaving Geoff and Julia tied up. They have little choice other than to wait for the cleaners to arrive in the morning. Maybe a game of I Spy would pass the time. Or maybe romance is in the air.
An especially useful play for actors who never know what to do with their arms!!! Ages of actors flexible.
It runs around 20 minutes. ------------- I demand a second opinion |
