In the Bag by Frances Bartram |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 4. Minimum total with doubling = 4. Minimum total without doubling = 5. No chorus. Whilst there is nominally one male role, this is an offstage voice with little to say, and could as well be recorded. |
Run Time | Around 35 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | One-act comedy play, single set - the back room of a charity shop (and, as you might expect, the props are largely charity shop bric-a-brac) |
Synopsis | Maureen and Mary are volunteers in a charity shop and every day is much like the one before. But today, when they're going through new donations, they find some money. A lot of money. Just as they're deciding what to do with it, two new volunteers arrive. What to do? |

Language Lessons by Nicholas Richards |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 0. Minimum total with doubling = 4. Minimum total without doubling = 23. No chorus. There are two consistent characters throughout (plus an offstage voice). The rest are brought on for each 'lesson' so the 'Englishman' could be played by a different character in each scene (and need not be male). |
Run Time | Around 18 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | Prologue and eleven short comedy skits with no requirements for set. Could be done as written (one continuous performance) or could be split across a sketch show as a running gag. (Contains caricatures, silly accents and foreign words!) |
Synopsis | Polly and Glott present an informative (and amusing) look into the necessity for having some skill with a foreign tongue. |
