| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 6. Minimum Female roles = 5. Minimum total with doubling = 20. Minimum total without doubling = 35. Chorus. Flexible cast, with a non-speaking chorus of dancers, children and horrid creatures. (Far be it from me to say that there is any overlap between these categories.) |

| Music | None. |
| Style | One-act comedy play for schools (about writing for the stage). Single set. |
| Synopsis | A young writer settles down to write a play, racing against the twin deadlines of school in the morning and dinnertime. He tries several genres, and the plays collide, forcing the characters themselves to lend a hand. |

| You Can't Be Serious! by Nicholas Richards |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 8. Minimum total without doubling = 26. No chorus. Very flexible cast numbers (the upper limit is the entire population of Syracuse). Two presenters appear throughout, the rest of the characters appear in individual episodes and are therefore open to doubling if needed. |
| Run Time | Around 40 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | One-act play - though arguably a sketch show with a linking theme and two linking characters (the presenters). Ideal for a school class mixing science, history, linguistics and drama. What more could you want? |
| Synopsis | An affectionate spoof of children's science programmes sneaks in some education amongst the fun as the two presenters take a stroll through time to examine the origins of some well-known (and some less well-known) scientific words. |
