StyleA one-act play with fairly simple set and prop requirements. Read the script to check that the punchline is acceptable to you before using this as a script for children!
SynopsisHansel and Gretel attempt to track down the truth behind the famous Incey Da Wincey conspiracy stories. What did the celebrated web artist know about the 'Narrator' and the 'Index'? Could Nursery Land really just be a series of stories in a book? Can they solve the mystery before they are silenced by sinister forces who want the secret protected forever? A parody of the Da Vinci Code (obviously). (What may be less obvious to American readers is that it is based on a nursery rhyme which, in the UK is 'Incey Wincey Spider', the American version being 'Itsy-Bitsy Spider')

StyleAn old-fashioned 'play' on manners and a light-hearted spoof of the traditional murder mystery.
SynopsisFour elderly women-a fidgety hostess, her grumpy cousin, a southern belle, and a British cynic--sit down for afternoon tea. One is a murderer in disguise, one a detective in disguise, one a humanitarian worker in disguise, and one an innocent bystander (also in disguise). Conversation soon turns from the state of the weather to the untimely death of Great-Aunt Charlotte Robinson (the undercover leader of band of pantyhose thieves). And before you can say 'pink pantyhose,' an innocent tea party has turned into a dangerous (if slightly silly) game of 'who dun it?'

StyleOne-act satirical comedy. Single (domestic kitchen) set.
SynopsisMichael's DNA test confirms his self-diagnosed Coulrophobia (fear of clowns). When Dr Keegle informs him he actually has the dreaded Clown Syndrome and only a week to live, his wife must keep him away from any form of comedy. Michael agrees to attend a support group. Tragically, the DNA test was mixed up, and rather than Courophobia, Michael has actually got the Clown Gene - he's a clown, and cannot help himself delivering an improvised stand up routine to the members of the Clown Syndrome support group. Exposed to comedy, they die in droves and Michael is carted off to prison, charged with murder. At the last moment his sentence is commuted to Community Service and his family must adjust to the new Michael, from his red nose to his floppy shoes.
