ALL THERE IS – BRITISH ONE ACT DRAMA SCRIPT

Before Frank loses the last shreds of his mind, he plans on escaping from Cherry Blossom Residential Care Home. Before Frank does anything crazy, Jeremy, his only son, wants to get hold of his inheritance. Jeremy has some big plans with the money he believes is rightfully his. The problem is, so does Frank in this British one act drama script.

In All There Is, Jeremy wants access to the money his father has locked away in order to move him to a nicer senior residence. In return, Frank’s son needs five grand to get his band started up again. Wonky or not, old or young, when it comes to money it’s never just about the money. Frank is wary. How could he not be? Between father and son it’s never linear. A poor approach to give and take is the result of a strained relationship where a common understanding has never existed.

Like father, like son….

CROSSWORD – AWARD WINNING PLAY ABOUT MURDER

A play about murder with a surprising  twist at the end.   Do you know the person, or the parts of yourself you wish you didn’t?

He’s the boy who delivers Maureen’s groceries. That is all. Ben is his name. He’s rather young (23 to be exact), sweet yet slightly annoying and quite nosy. For all his lack of charm, he’s quite harmless to old Maureen and he’s very helpful with her crossword puzzle, amongst other things. He helps with the puzzle and she makes him a cup of tea. She initially tended to rebuff his desire to keep her company a while but she nonetheless appreciates the gesture as she lives alone. She’s lived that way for many, many years now.

Ben found out she lived alone on the last day she saw him. He used that information to his best interests when he asked her to share her living space with him as he was looking for new accommodation. He told her the move was necessary but the truth about his past would soon come to light. Maureen resisted as Ben persisted. He grew hungrier for her approval and she grew wary of his intentions. The rest was, as Ben stated when he tackled the first word of Maureen’s crossword, that day, ‘’Murder.’’

ONE ACT BRITISH PLAYS

THE COMING OF JED CREST – ONE ACT BRITISH  PLAYS

Oh! The possibilities of believing everything you hear!

Let him who hath understanding reckon the word of the Lord: that the Second Coming shall reveal the fate of the world. The fate of the world will lie in the hands of the One born of a mildly successful rock star and she who runs a cafe.

Foretold by the papers that yellow and recounted by a customer who is not the most generous in his consistent purchases of a cup of tea, Kerry could not be bothered by Colin’s story of the day, in this one-act play… until she hears of the link between her mother, Pat and a man known as Jed Crest. In less than thirty minutes, Kerry discovers the wonder of hearing an unbelievable story whose elements are so incredible that to believe them would be confirmation that she’s mental and at the same time perfectly sane.

After all, a casual conversation has eliminated the notion that Kerry is just a girl who works in a cafe as one who might actually be an integral part of the Second Coming and could very well be the Second Coming itself.
