Lazy Bee Scripts - Reading Scripts on-line
 
The Way it is Supposed to Work...
     Lazy Bee Scripts offers you the ability to read complete play scripts on-line, free of charge.
(You can read them, but any attempt to copy or print the on-line version is a breach of copyright).
Each script is displayed in a Java applet.  (This means you need to have the free Java plug-in installed on your computer.)
Anywhere you see the title of a script underlined as a link,
click on the title and you will be taken to the script page where the script should be displayed. 
(If the script is not displayed, then follow the link to help on getting the scripts to display properly.)
 
Can I read the scripts off-line?
  Yes. This is useful if you are being charged by the minute for your time on-line.
Wait till the java applet has loaded (i.e. you can see the first page of a script, usually a cast list),
then click "Work Offline" under the file menu of your browser, and then shut down your modem link to your service provider
(you know, that little icon in your task bar, with the little blinking screens).
You can then read the whole of the script without your bank account being sucked down your phone line.
(The java applet closes as soon as you change the page or close the browser, so you can't save the script on your PC.)
 
What about the Murder Mystery Scenarios?
The Murder Mystery Scenarios (interactive murder mysteries) are a special case. 
They are not displayed on the Internet.  This is firstly because many of them are not written as conventional play scripts -
they are written as narrative arcs and character background briefs and... oh go and look for yourself
Secondly, many groups run Murder Mystery events with a prize for the best solution from a member of the audience. 
Having the scenario (and therefore the solution) displayed on-line would give opportunities for cheating.
I know all that, but why aren't the scripts displaying properly?
