TEN MINUTE SATIRE SCRIPT

PRODUCTION HISTORY
Oakwood High School, OH, USA – 2019
Read The worst law firm in Merry Old England – a full length farcical play by Leon.
Author: Leon Kaye
Genre: Satire
Type: One act plays
Cast: 4-5 – the smaller roles may be doubled. 2F 3M
Ages of Actors: Main characters late 30’s to 50’s, 1 young female caller and two others undetermined.
Suitable for: All ages
Length: Ten minutes
Set: Slightly to one side but in a prominent location, a radio station announcing booth (or a table with two chairs behind it).
On the table is a microphone in front of each chair. On one or both sides is a telephone switchboard. Between the microphones is a fairly large “Kill” button. LISA and JIM sit at the table.
On the other side the three phone callers appear, holding a telephone receiver or cell phone to their ear. These actors are lighted only when “On.” The playwright’s choice is that the players are actually offstage, and we only hear their amplified voices.
Level of Difficulty: 6/10 – a nice short fast paced play for a small cast.
