In this comedy in three acts…..Meet Malcolm – feigning work in an advertising agency when he is, in fact, writing a play, also set in an ad agency, in which the characters are becoming more real to him than his own life. He can think of nothing else, not even his partner Charley, who’d give anything if Malcolm knew the color of her eyes. Instead, she spends her days getting him out of trouble whilst he works on his masterpiece. When Malcolm loses his job, and moves to another agency, he finds that the characters in his play are a little more real than even he thought possible in this comedy in three acts…

The Wandering Bard’s Tale – a Children’s Fairytale in One Act

THE WANDERING BARD’S TALE – CHILDREN’S FAIRYTALE PLAY IN ONE ACT

When the Princess Dandelion is kidnapped by the evil sorcerer Jeff and his two sidekicks Cotton and Candy, King Monty (who lives in a hall, not a castle because it sounds better) sends his servant Max to rescue her. Max is aided by a wandering bard, named Pip, who helps Max rescue the headstrong Princess (who gets kidnapped once a month, usually) using a magical necklace and the power of a sneeze to defeat him in this children’s fairytale play.

This play has been successfully staged and performed for a number of elementary schools in America and it ran for a year. It is a fantasy about the power of friendship and was used to get children interested in the arts.

Lies “R” Us – play scripts teenagers

August 6, 2011 Demmer Dewan Leave a comment

LIES ‘R’ US – PLAY SCRIPTS TEENAGERS

A story that follows three typical teenagers and the lies they tell to those closest to them in order to stay out of trouble. When their lies end up trapping them, they are forced to learn the consequences of their own actions. A good one act drama for high school students with a simple set, that explores typical “teen” issues and the wrong way to deal with problems they encounter sometimes without the support of adults.
