Fools Call It Fate by Jessica McHugh Winner of the Mobtown Playwrights Group (Baltimore MD) original playwriting competition, 2010. |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 4. Minimum total with doubling = 7. Minimum total without doubling = 10. No chorus. Three of the characters are intended to double as 'No-one'. Whilst there is no formal chorus, there are options for additional customers in the bar and restaurant scenes. |
Run Time | Around 100 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | Full-length drama in which threads of tangled lives are interwoven with scenes in a form of purgatory. Four locations, but can be done very simply. Contains adult themes and offensive language (if that's what offends you). |
Synopsis | A story of sex, coincidence, and an electronic cigarette. A group of characters interweave as their stories unfold - Sophie is sleeping with Gabby's husband, he's the Health Inspector who's shut down Tara's bakery, and Tara just met Ash in the bar run by Danny, who's Sophie's brother... and the man who drugged and raped Tara... An intriguing, challenging and very well constructed play with lots of depth to the characters. Set in Baltimore, Maryland, but could easily be transposed to another country! |

Run Time | Around 115 minutes. [Estimated!] |

Style | Full-length drama. Two domestic sets (in the original production this was one box set, with the location change was achieved by using an upstage curtain to conceal or reveal additional set details). Contains a little swearing. |
Synopsis | Albert is getting old and forgetful, so he's moving in with son and daughter-in-law. His presence and decline add to the problems they're already having with their son. But the play also shows how Albert lived as a young man and husband, and tells of some of the experiences that made him who he was - in particular a little-known second world war campaign that marked a turning-point in the war with Japan. |
