Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 0. Minimum total with doubling = 25. Minimum total without doubling = 25. Chorus. Whilst Mr Gauche, for example, is given a gender, it isn't really key to the plot! Many of the characters, are, when all's said and done, anthropomorphic personifications of cells and micro-organisms. |
Run Time | Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | One act play set in the imagination of a character fighting off an infection, where the protagonists - germs and blood cells - act-out their roles. Fantasy, but with a lot of educational value. |
Synopsis | When Mr Gauche accidentally hammers a nail through his thumb, he only wants medical help from the Doctor, but he gets a thorough lesson in the body's defence mechanisms anyway. A musical version is available here. |

Ted by Steven Stack Runner-up, 2018 Maine Principals' Association Drama Festival (Production by Central High School) |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 4. Minimum total with doubling = 9. Minimum total without doubling = 11. No chorus. |
Run Time | Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | A quirky one act play, retelling the tale of Rumplestiltskin. A companion (same style, different tale) to Hansel and Gretel... and Sadie (Of Edible Houses, Risky Bargains, and Other Grimm Happenings) |
Synopsis | This re-telling of the story has all the traditional aspects at first, but departs from the usual by dispensing with the royal marriage and the first-born part. A very off-beat comedy. |
