May Contain Nuts! by Barbara Hockley
Briefly:
Cast: Lots. Multi-roling or one character each. 16 is plenty (multiroling), but more is fine!
Age: 13+
Running time: About 35/40 minutes
Involves: An awful lot of silliness, dressing up as pirates, mysterious old ladies, a few characters from Romeo & Juliet, sword fighting, walking the plank, vampires, talking statues .... and on ..... Originally written for outdoor festival performances, but can be performed anywhere you like. Requires lots of crazy imagination to add to the innate daftness of the story.
Plot: A madcap romp through the mind of our rather conservative hero - Henry, but his imagination gets the better of him....
Set: Anything really. Needs to be versatile. Lots of props, hats, big noses & fake facial hair is good.
COST: Script £8 (includes photocopying rights); Performing Rights £20 per performance
