StyleComedy spy spoof for youth theatre. Lots of locations but not much set!
SynopsisWhen Anatoly Kazmarov, recently convicted head of international criminal gang STINK, is sprung from a top-security escape-proof prison, it is obvious that someone even more fiendish than Kazmarov is involved. This is clearly a job for The Secret Department's top man, the suave, debonair (but largely inept) Dirk Smirk. It's just as well that the impossibly beautiful Captain Tremaine is on hand to help him out as a plot to bring the world order to its knees gets underway.

SynopsisWhen King Arthur sets out for yet another distant battle, he does not realise that his brilliant idea of entrusting temporary care of Camelot to his cousin, Sir Mordred, is going to backfire. In Arthur's absence Mordred decides that he wants the job on a permanent basis and that includes taking Queen Guinevere as well. Now, as we all know, damsels in distress inevitably attract heroic rescuers. Cue would-be knight Sir Lancelot. What Lancelot lacks in knightly skills he makes up for in enthusiasm. Unfortunately he cannot overcome Mordred and even the returning Arthur needs to turn to the mystic legends of Avalon in order to reclaim Camelot and his Guinevere.

If the Countess is hoping to find a vital and dynamic monarch, a loving royal family and a powerful army, Boleslav knows that she is going to be sorely disappointed. It’s just as well that an enterprising and ambitious traveller hatches a plan to rescue the situation.

His divorce from his first wife brings him a run-in with the pope, which doesn't stop him repeating his mistakes, including the disastrous acquisition of a wife via e-Bay (Ann of Cleeves, apparently), in his quest to furnish an heir to the throne.

King Lear by Geoff Bamber
RolesMinimum Male roles = 9. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 14. Minimum total without doubling = 14. No chorus. The number of roles can be increased by adding soldiers (the King of France in particular would make good use of them.)

MusicNone.
StyleShort modern-English version of Shakespeare's tragedy. (Whilst the plot is all there, there are more comic moments than the bard envisaged.) The author has structured this in 13 acts, but don't let that fool you.
SynopsisAn ageing King Lear intends to retire and hand over his throne to one of his squabbling daughters. The Earl of Gloucester, on the other hand, does not intend to retire but his scheming son, Edmund, wants to take over the title anyway, even if it means by-passing the rightful heir, his brother Edgar. The two families' affairs become linked and a violent tale of treachery, jealousy and blind ambition ensues.
Despite the body count running into double figures, this is a comedy.

The tomb's treasure is to be the centrepiece of a museum for the benefit of all. At least that is the Professor's plan. However the tomb is said to be cursed and criminal mastermind The Scar (incidentally L.A. Gendry's arch enemy) has other ideas.
