COCOA AND CUDDLES
A Black Comedy in Two Acts
by Jane Lockyer Willis
website
| CAST: 4 Women and 3 Men.
One set: a cottage interior.
Frank is squeamish by nature, especially when it comes to burying his late irascible old mother Edith now lying upstairs in the spare room. While urging him to make necessary arrangements, Lorna, Frank’s second wife, discovers to her annoyance that he has engaged the help of his sister Polly. Val and Reg, members of the local folk dancing club, arrive to pay their respects. They disclose that Edith, far from having been difficult, was a well liked fun loving club member with a toy boy called Ted. Edith’s presence is felt throughout the play as being symbolic of the fractured relationships and bickering family: Polly, jealous of Frank and railing against his ineffectualness; Lorna, angry over his reluctance to face reality; and Carr ie, Frank’s late daughter who casts a further shadow over events. Frank finds solace in Lucy, a twenty year old mourner, who closely identifies with his emotional state. The play closes with more family disclosures which serve to reconcile Frank and Polly, as they rediscover their abiding love for each other. Funny and sad, this play deals with love, loss, jealousy and regret.

CINDERELLA'S TIME OUT
A delightful new take on the classic fairytale
by Jane Lockyer Willis
website
|
Cinderella yearns for a 'new life without straight roads and predictable endings.' Abandoning the story and the doting Pince Charming, she travels the world seeking her independence. Meanwhile the Prince, now at a loose end, meets Bo Peep. She temporarily fills the emotional gap, and together they set up home at his parent's palace. Cinderella finally returns to live with her ugly sisters, now kind and loving, owing to the positive influence of a new, innovative Fairy Godfather. Worried that Cinderella's behaviour has influenced other fairytales, the Prince and Bo Peep visit her to see what can be done. En route a dragon pursues them and attacks Bo Peep's sheep. All is resolved, when Godfather issues invitations to the annual ball. Bo Peep's father slays the dragon and Bo Peep, ever devoted to her flock, decides to return to her nursery rhyme. The liberated Cinderella and the prince, having attended the ball, are reunited and arrive back at the palace just before midnight. The fairy tale is back on track.

The Cage Of Perfect Things
a new play by Jack Fitzpatrick
If your theatre group would like to receive a free, e-mail copy of the director script of The Cage of Perfect Things just contact me via email Thank you.
|
The Cage Of Perfect Things is a stage play about all those upscale possessions which take so many prisoners in any affluent society ... including our own. The setting is a provincial villa on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. The year is well after the high grandeur and glory of the Empire.
The struggle is between the security and the status of a middle-aged couple who own the villa and the freedom of a young, carefree, wandering, nameless Barbarian. The story begins with the arrival of the Barbarian who has come to sell the most precious Art object of the ancient world. It is a large medallion of the Goddess Athena. There are many intriguing ideas about the nature of Fine Art. In an unusual sequence of dreams a potter, a cynical painter and a sculptor tell the real truth about Greek and Roman Art.
There are two love stories: one young and one middle age. Also, to bring drama to your stage, you will find a most untraditional sword fight, a pagan dance, a classic monologue and a surprise ending that is tight and crisp and ironic.
Although this story is set in a time long, long ago - and the players wear togas and tunicae - the simple use of austere, modern-style furniture as suggested in the director script will give the show a contemporary feel. The story will be at home today in London, New York, Glasgow, Chicago, Peoria, Paris, or Hong Kong. The cast has six women and four men. The production requirements are simple and flexible.
The Cage of Perfect Things may convince your players and your audience that taking a poke at life's big questions can be fun for real Sophisticates and for real Barbarians. This play had a stage reading in Europe. Even on a bare stage with no costumes and an international cast reading to an international audience, the imagery came across well. If your stage adds a rather simple set, lighting, a few Roman costumes, some tambourines, a collection of flea-market art, and your own make-believe … you can have a unique story which the Greeks and the Romans would have enjoyed.
Owning things will never go out of fashion. Whether we own our objects or they own us will always be an interesting idea with which to play … now … or in ten thousand years.

RIFF-RAFF GALAXIES
a new musical
director script & score available to community theatres contact: email
|
Riff-Raff Galaxies is a Rock musical. It is a dramatic and whimsical story based on the idea that Rock & Roll may well be the best gift we have to give to the Universe. And, that is what happens on stage: we, all of Planet Earth, give Rock & Roll to the Universe.
This show is ideal for community theatre. The cast is a mix of interesting roles for men and women of different ages. Every player has good lines. Just about every role has a song or two of its own.
Why has Rock & Roll been the dominant music of the whole world for three generations? Why is Rock & Roll the way the world wants to sing and the way the world wants to dance? It must be something more than just noise and glitter.
The opening song, Bloodline, ties Rock music to our deep past. The finale, Let Love Sing, celebrates our giving our music to the Universe and ties us forever to the deep future.
In Riff-Raff Galaxies, the Rock & Roll is both rowdy and gentle. It echoes the innocence and the excitement and the madness of the world of Rock & Roll.
Throughout the director script, numerous staging alternatives are detailed. The production budget can be grand or financed by bake sales.
If the players in your community theatre are innovative and rambunctious, if they yearn to strike their own mark on their own stage with a new show that tells the story of the music of our times, they would be perfect for Riff-Raff Galaxies!
Currently, a data DVD (no video) with the director script of Riff-Raff Galaxies, the sheet music for all the song arrangements and computer-generated audio files of all the music is available at no charge to community theatres - anywhere.
As one of the singer/songwriter characters in the play says, 'There is a fabulous tangle of life to see - and unwind - and set to sound.' If your players want to set to sound life in your town, think about performing Riff-Raff Galaxies.
Because I am the sole copyright holder of all my plays and musicals - performance rights are simple, flexible and very inexpensive.

Ben Crocker Pantomimes 
Contact via email
|
Traditional pantomime scripts with a modern feel - ideal for amateur companies.
Ben comes from a theatrical family and is the son of the actor and pantomime writer, John Crocker. He saw his first pantomime at the age of three and has been hooked ever since - although he can't remember all of the show as he spent the frightening bits under his seat.
Many pantomimes later, Ben studied Drama at Exeter University and for a brief while he had a proper job in publishing which allowed him to either act in or direct a dozen productions at the Tower Theatre, Islington.
After thoroughly enjoying his time at the Tower, he took the plunge and started up his own company, the Magnificent Theatre Company. Specialising in comedy, MTC went on to become one of the country's most sought after theatre companies, playing at the Young Vic and touring to the RSC and to major theatres all over the UK. During that time he also assisted the actor, Sir Nigel Hawthorne.
In 1998, Ben became the Artistic Director of the Northcott Theatre, Exeter. Within two years, audience levels had risen to some of the highest in the country and remained so until he left in 2008. A particular highlight every year being the six week run of the much loved Northcott panto.
During the last twenty years Ben has directed over seventy professional productions, including fifteen pantomimes. Five years ago he started writing the scripts which contain all his knowledge, expertise and love for the artform. They are very funny, fast moving, true to the story and quite possibly the best pantomime scripts in the world - oh, yes they are!

Celebrity
Free Play Available
by Paul Mathews
|
‘Celebrity’ is a sharp, witty and often touching insight into the modern phenomenon that is celebrity.
This full-length comedy received its premiere when the Centralian Players performed it over three nights in October 2010, playing to packed houses on all three nights.
The action focuses on an eventful 24-hours in the lives of science-fiction writer Max Kettell and his PR guru wife Amber as their friends, family and clients get drawn into various celebrity disasters and intrigues. As well as exploring the modern world of celebrity, it also touches on familiar themes such as parenting and childhood.
‘Celebrity’ is most certainly a modern comedy, which will appeal to regular theatregoers, as well as those people who might ordinarily prefer ‘X-Factor’ or ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ to a night at the theatre.
All profits from ‘Celebrity’ - a very healthy £1,000 - were donated to the Watford-based Peace Hospice. The author, Paul Mathews, is prepared to make the script available for performance for no-charge, on the basis that groups performing the play donate the profits to a local hospice or other local charity.
Excerpt from NODA review: 'This was a great evening’s entertainment. The piece, although full of humour, certainly made you think about relationship problems in all aspects of life, particularly within families.'

A friend in the business has advised me - as a first step to having a \‘package\’ to present - is to get it produced by a really good Am-Dram Society and take benefit from the experience.Anyone with a genuine interest in knowing more - reading the script & hearing the songs - should contact me via email Or: (020) 7691 6006 - weekdays (020) 8374 4974 - evenings/weekends

The Tavern and The Storyteller
by Jim Lassiter
Allenstown, NH USA
Contact email
|
The Tavern and The Storyteller is a royalty-free tale about a tavern visited one night by the Storyteller.
He tells a story to the local fishermen about "A tavern just like this with fishermen just like you".
The fishermen and the Tavernkeepers become characters in the Storyteller's story about Lily, the daughter of the Tavernkeepers.
Lily is loved from afar by William, a poor boy who lives in the forest and she is lusted after by the Baron's evil son Caducias.
The story weaves in and out between the 'real' world of the tavern and the Storyteller's story, maybe even blurring the lines at times.
Is it just a tale or is there something more to the story?
Comedy, happiness, sadness, death, rabbit assassins, singing wall mounted stuffed fish, an arrow that looks a lot like a chicken.
There's also a tattered Fairy Godmother and her Golden Spatula and the far reaching magic of love...
2 Acts, 20 Scenes, 10 Songs (9 of the songs are meant to be played by a single acoustic guitar, the 10th (the Fairy Godmother Rap) is a pre-recorded piece meant to be played over a PA system)
10 Males (minimum, additional parts can be doubled, 13 w/out doubling - see PropsnChar page)
5 Females (minimum, additional parts can be doubled, 9 w/out doubling - see PropsnChar page)
There are no set changes (see below...)
Minimal costume changes (notably, Sarah's dress, Henchmen outfit/bunny costumes and Caducias' pants) 2.5 hours long (per the 2007 production videos)
The webpage has a read-only pdf script with authors notes, full production video and short clips, demo songs, lyric/chord sheets, production & set pics and as much info as I could stuff into it!

| Cressrelles is one of the largest groups of play publishers in the UK. We offer every type of play, from short pieces, to one-acts, full length plays and pantomimes, for all-women, mixed and youth casts.
I hope you will find many plays amongst our catalogues to interest your drama group. We will extend the scope of our website in the near future but, in the meantime, you will find downloadable catalogues of plays and theatre textbooks, links to our overseas agents and to UK drama organisations and suppliers.
If you would like to order any of our plays or theatre books or for further information, please email me at and I will reply with a quote or despatch the books to you immediately. |

Joseph Weinberger
| Josef Weinberger founded his publishing business in Vienna in 1885. Through an association with Johann Strauss II, he began licensing performances of Strauss' operettas. Licensing stage works has been a vital part of our work ever since and the principal Viennese operetta composers are represented in our catalogue: Strauss, Millöcker, Zeller, Kálmán, Oscar Straus, Stolz and Fall. We have administered the copyrights of Franz Lehár for many years for Lehár's own company, Glocken Verlag.
We have expanded into several other musical genres over the years: contemporary classical, light orchestral, educational, brass and military band, and religious. Our associated production music library, JW Media Music Ltd., is a leader in its field, while our sister companies in Vienna and Frankfurt have developed repertoire for their own respective markets.
Today, our theatre catalogue spans the century, from Viennese operettas to British musicals of the 1990s. It spans the globe too, through our representation for the UK and other European territories of the prestigious Broadway show catalogues of Music Theatre International and the Rodgers & Hammerstein Theatre Library. 1998 saw another development, our expansion into the arena of the play with the acquisition of rights in the stage works of the Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnár.
The launch of the Website is another exciting adventure for us, and we look forward to making many new contacts through it, to strengthen our links with the worlds of theatre and music.
