| How would people feel about having two parts? The reason is that is was impossible to find decent plays with the exact number of characters as we have actors so we went over rather than under so some people, probably about 4 or 5 will have two parts. Feed back on this please Nat xxxx THE EMPTY CHAIR: 8 parts - all unisex The setting is a counseling center for teenagers recovering from substance abuse. One of their peers, Robert, has just died of an overdose. Accident or suicide? The atmosphere is tense and uneasy. Finally, each young person speaks about his or her memory of Robert. The dramatic monologues tell us a great deal about each speaker and the terrors of drug abuse. Although Robert remains something of a mystery, his impact on the others is undeniable. This is a hard-hitting work with an emotionally strong anti-drug message. With its flexible cast and minimal prop requirement, it's ideal for contest use, touring or for any program dealing with the topic of teenage substance abuse. | ||||

| BIG BAD - PLEASE, PLEASE READ!!!!!! (It's quite long) | 57 dagen geleden | ||
| ||||
| Hey Guys We realise that the end of tonight was a bit rushed and you didn't get the chance to ask any questions about the plays and the parts, so i'm going to put as much information as possible up here so you can re-think some of your 'favourite parts' decisions. Also we didn't mention that even if the name of a character is male or female a lot of them are actually unisex and can be changed to the opposite so take that into consideration!!!! This is the plot summary; Big Bad is a smart and wickedly funny play. The most notorious criminal in the fairy-tale world, Big Bad Wolf, is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by the countless quirky characters he has wronged. Now, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest, the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother, will clash (on live Court TV, no less, with Sydney Grimm as commentator!) in a trial that will be remembered forever after. As Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf testify, the wolf seems deserving of all thats coming. But, even though the disreputable Evil Stepmother couldn't be less interested in pro-bono work on such an obviously futile defense, Mr. Wolf makes a good case for himself. Was he born a criminal, or made one? Perhaps he does deserve compassion instead of condemnation? What will the verdict be? Here's the parts and who has so far put their names under them. Please comment if you would like to add or take your name away after having more information!!!!!! SYDNEY GRIMM 'young, flashy reporter for a cable news channel' This character opens the show! Needs to be strong and confident!!!!! Fairly big part Names so far: * Alie * Lee-anne * Megan * Emma * Ellen * Lucy * Alex * Angus * Patrick * Calum * Molly FAIRY GODMOTHER 'self-righteous old lawyer with a sweet facade' One of the main parts who is giving her case against the wolf. Names so far: * Lucy * Lee-anne * Molly * Alicia * Esme EVIL STEPMOTHER 'high powered, high priced young lawyer' Another one of the main parts who is defended the wolf. Names so far: * Lucy * Lee-anne * Amba * Esme JUDGE WISE OLD MAN/WOMAN 'a doddering old fool' Another main part, who is the judge of the court. They make some very random but funny comments, anecdotes and analogys!!!! Names so far: * No-one!!!! Come on - Its an amazing part, there must be someone!!!! BIG BAD WOLF 'a.k.a Mr Wolf' He is just that, the big bad wolf, or is he? Obviously he is the man of the moment and is on trial. Names so far: * Lucy * Angus * Esme * Patrick ONE 'very stupid pig' Part of a very funny trio who have to bounce off each other and work well as a team otherwise it wont work. A lot of fun to do! Names so far: * Alie * Lee-anne * Lucy * Megan * Molly TWO 'slightly less stupid pig' As above!!!!!!!! very funny, all three are if done right! A lot of fun to do and play with! Names so far: * Alie * Lucy * Lee-anne * Megan * Molly * Alicia THREE 'highly intelligent pig' Again as above, although this pig has more lines as they are the most intelligent, could be played in so many different ways, a lot of fun i think!!! Names so far: * Alie * Megan * Calum * Lucy * Lee-anne * Ellen LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD 'spoiled brat' She is at the trail with her Granny. Think almost really sterotypical Paris Hilton spoilt. Wants everything and thinks she can have everything and thinks shes the best. Names so far: * Lucy * Megan * Alie * Ellen * Amba * Molly * Esme GRANNY HOOD 'widow longing for a pampered retirement' She's at the trial to get some compensation for being eaten by the wolf, while all the time trying to keep her grandaughter red riding hood under control. Needs to be a strong working duo or wont work or be funny. Names so far: * No-one (Real Shame) BILL WOODCUTTER 'big, affable, self-obsessessed competitive lumberjack' The woodcutter who saved red riding hood and her granny. Takes himself very seriously even if no-one else does! Names so far: * No-one (Again a real shame) MISS MUFFIT 'neurotic psychiatrist and wolf expert' Completely petrified of spiders, very intelligent but a little odd, has a real connection with the wolf! Names so far: * Lucy * Lee-anne * Alie * Ellen * Megan BOY WHO CRIED WOLF 'disrespectful little delinquent' A mischevious, cheeky character who might end up in prison themselves one day! Names so far: * Ellen SHEPHERD 'kind elderly shepherd' The 'boy who cried wolf's' dad there to tell his side of the story. Names so far: * No-one (A real shame  Why not?)PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS IF THERE IS SOME MORE PARTS YOU ARE INTERESTED IN!!!!! THANK YOU XXXXXXXXXXX | ||||
