Richard III - Has Anybody Seen My Horse by Geoff Bamber

Run TimeAround 45 minutes. [Estimated!]

StyleHistorical comedy for kids. Structurally in four acts, but of one-act length. No specific set requirements. Simple props.
SynopsisWith the Wars of the Roses in full swing, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, finds himself on the right side when the House of York take the throne. Richard harbours an ambition to become King. Unfortunately his older brothers and his own nephews stand in his way. For a resourceful fellow with no principles this does not present a problem. Dark deeds inevitably ensue. Temporary success is achieved but a happy ending for the story of one of history's favourite villains (*) seems increasingly unlikely.
* This is only because this bit of history was written by the Tudors. (To the victor, the spoilers.)

Romeo and Juliet Date Other People by Jon Jory
RolesMinimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 6. Minimum total without doubling = 10. No chorus.
Run TimeAround 27 minutes. [Estimated!]
MusicNone.
StyleOne-act comedy starting from Shakespeare and straying a good way. Simple to stage. Written in American English.
SynopsisRomeo's wooing of Juliet fails when both run out of poetry, so they agree to take a break and see other people. Romeo's dates with Lady Macbeth, Cleopatra, and the Wicked Witch of the West don't go well, nor do Juliet's with Paris, Iago and Oberon. Maybe the star-cross'd lovers are the only ones right for each other.

Best Seller
RolesMinimum Male roles = 8. Minimum Female roles = 4. Minimum total with doubling = 12. Minimum total without doubling = 25. No chorus.
Run TimeAround 18 minutes. [Estimated!] This would be a calm production but it is intended to be played faster!
MusicNone.
StyleModern language version of Romeo and Juliet. No set requirements.
SynopsisDoes what it says on the label - although to get down below sixteen and a half minutes, the play needs to be done (as intended) at manic pace. [Our estimate is that a steadty pace would run to 18 minutes.] Follows the plot and structure of the original work (so structurally in five acts).

MusicNone.
StyleA short comedy sketch, set in a school hall (which need only be represented by a few items of furniture).
SynopsisNikki, the drama teacher, is determined to get through this last rehearsal with her principals from Romeo and Juliet, but Juliet can't remember the right lines - even the right play - and there are constant interruptions.
