SCRIPT IN HAND - FOUR ONE ACT PLAYS
ROYALTY FREE
SCRIPT IN HAND PLAYS
Script In Hand Plays take you back to the golden age of radio where actors step up to the mic, scripts in hand, to bring fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy to life before a live studio audience.
The laughs come fast and furious in in these four royalty free
comedies that take a slightly skewed but affectionate look back at
classic radio theater and the enduring appeal of a good detective
yarn—especially when the cases are this delightfully screwy.
Script in hand, actors step up the mic to bring fast-paced,
laugh-out-loud comedy to life before a live studio audience.
With
Script In Hand Plays, theater groups of all sizes can quickly mount
an evening of laughs and entertainment with minimal sets, costumes
and rehearsals. Actors can play multiple roles. Vocal talent is the
key. Performers don’t have to meet any pre-conceived physical
standards to play a character or characters. It’s all part of the
fun.
In this collection of script in hand plays, we meet Dick
Shamus, Fictional Detective—ace investigator of the Fictional Bureau
of Investigation (F.B.I.). While most cops travel the mean streets
chasing perps and crooks, Shamus takes the road less traveled and
chase them down in plays and books. With a penchant for off-beat,
hard boiled metaphors and a nose for trouble Shamus takes on the
most infamous crimes in literature.
THE PLAYS
"Bite Me” - Shamus confronts a vampire who’s stolen his new flame.
“MacBeth The Knife”-- Our intrepid gumshoe tangles with an old flame by the name of Lady MacBeth
“The Big Snooze” - Shamus travels to Peppermint Bay, searching for the villain who zotzed his old pal Humpty Dumpty
“Alias Cinderella” - Shamus comes up against a beautiful con artist who uses a glass slipper to put one over on a not so charming prince.
Dick Shamus, the only fictional detective who makes his living investigating the toughest, dirtiest cases in fiction. It doesn't get more meta than that.
