Synopsis | What do you get when you mix one-part disenchanted tomboy waitress who just dumped her loser boyfriend, one-part overly pontificating know-it-all seasoned bartender, and one-part recently jilted blue-collar droop who just isn't doing well with the ladies? You get the situation at shift-change at Shannahann's Pub. A light-hearted take on bar culture and protocol, where Gregg, fresh from a breakup, receives hilarious coaching on the art of picking up women from the garrulous barkeep, Pete. While he's more bemused than bolstered, his intended departure is halted when he encounters the pub's beautiful, hard-nosed waitress Vicki, who, after some coy, heated banter, provides him with a simpler solution to his romantic problem. |

Skitskrieg by TLC Creative |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 5. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 7. Minimum total without doubling = 51. Chorus. Whilst the minimum cast 'as written' is 5 male and 4 female, the humour would be suitable for actors playing across gender, so, in theory, most of it could be done by a cast of 4, with just The Land Army sketch requiring 5M, 2F. |
Run Time | Around 60 minutes. [Estimated!] Period songs could be added to extend the run time. |
Music | The script contains the lyrics to one song (to the tune of 12 days of Christmas) and suggestions for other songs which might be appropriate for the show. (Note that additional songs will add to the run-time.) Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script. |
Style | Collection of sketches. Minimal requirements for set and props. |
Synopsis | Fifteen sketches with Second World War themes (although with a very modern perspective, including, amongst other things, pastiches of TV shows). Topics include rationing, air-raids, code breaking and various perspectives on the trials of military life. |

Snow White and the Seven Robbers by Geoff Bamber |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 17. Minimum total without doubling = 17. No chorus. |
Run Time | Around 50 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | One act comedy play for kids. It has leanings towards a British pantomime (in that some of the characters 'break the fourth wall' to interact with the audience), but it doesn't have some other elements - so make up your own mind. Anyway, it's funny. |
Synopsis | When King Benedict decides to take a new wife, life for his beautiful daughter, the Princess Snow White, takes a turn for the worse. The evil Queen Dragomira is consumed by jealousy and acquires a magic mirror which, she hopes, will confirm her as the 'fairest in the land'. Unfortunately for Dragomira the mirror, in the form of its human 'extension kit', can only tell the truth and Snow White's fate is sealed. The young princess is cast out into the forest to die. Can the interventions of a group of inept robbers (they used to be dwarves, but they grew) and an even less ept prince save the day? (Well, this is a fairy tale, so the answer is, at the very least, 'probably'!) |
