| 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? |

| Once a Jolly Farmer by Frances Bartram |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 8. Minimum total without doubling = 8. No chorus. Lots of great opportunities for character acting.

| Run Time | Around 35 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | One-act comedy play, single (farm shop) set. |
| Synopsis | Tricia's first day of work experience at the Farm Shop is a real experience, as Charles' mistress shows up unexpectedly and Tricia is recruited into the plot to keep her apart from Marion, Charles' wife. |

| Style | Parody in the style of Enid Blyton. |
