The Real Inspector Hound:
A one act play – duration appx 1 hour.

Moon and Birdboot, two drama critics, arrive to watch the performance of a new detective play, a parody of the conventional stage thriller. However the private lives of the critics become inextricably mixed with those of the play’s characters until Moon is shot dead and the real Inspector Hound proves to be … ?

Cast 8 speaking roles, 1 non-speaking role


If You’re Glad I’ll Be Frank:
A one act play – duration appx 30 mins

Originally written as a radio play which can be adapted for stage use.

To his astonishment Frank, a bus driver, recognises the voice of the GPO speaking clock as that of his long-lost wife. Determined to get her back, he forces his way into the inner sanctum of the Authorities to demand her release. She, meanwhile, still loving him, is almost broken by her never-ending recitation. Underlying the light-hearted story is a satiric comment on man’s servitude to the clock; and a reminder that Time itself is independent of the tick-tock of the clock.
Cast: 11/12 speaking roles
