Did you ever wonder what would happen if a librarian joined a
pirate crew? We never did either. But that didn't stop us from
writing a very funny play about it. If you think that "Citizen
Kane" is still the best movie ever made, then you are in good
company and maybe you can get them to read this play also, even
though this is non sequitur.
This play offers an explanation for EVERY problem in modern life,
one of which begins when the star fails to show for the
performance, and the other actors have to re-enact parts of his
life. This is a gentle but sharp satire on prejudice, and an
outright appeal for compassion, with a reason for keeping hope
alive
This volume of short stories consists of a wide range of efforts,
varying in substance, style and length. They consist of fantasy,
horror, romance, and stark everyday realism. The author hopes that
the reader will find them to be a reflection of significant portion
of the human experience. Inspirations came from such notable
authors as Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Aesop, Native American
idioms, and others. It is hoped that every reader will find
something to move and amuse them. Feel free to contact the author
with criticism, comments and reactions.
Hippocampus returns to Athens from Troy under a curse from Zeus. He
has only two days to sacrifice "that which he holds most dear" or
be damned to Hades. His frantic search involves the Oracle at
Delphi, Socrates and his girl-friend Asparagus. Partially inspired
by an Abbot and Costello routine Sophocles explores every aspect of
human life and a few in-human ones.
Silverman the Chimp and the Backwards World is the first
installment in the Silverman Saga. Each story is a complete fable,
intended to entertain children (and adults ) while teaching good
sense, advancing basic virtues, presenting correct English usage,
and expanding vocabulary (a little bit). But, don't worry... as
your children will never notice, until it is too late
THE MARX BROTHERS IN WELL, ALL ENDS IN A COMEDY, BY ERROR The Marx
Brothers did more than make movies, as they also appeared in live
plays. This one, from 1937, is a hilarious spoof of "A Mid-Summer's
Night Dream," among others of Shakespeare's works. Groucho is
Tylenol, the King of the Fairies, while Chico is Aleve, a rustic
shepherd. They meet in the enchanted forest of reversals, where the
opposite of what is intended usually occurs. So they each decide to
pursue the ladylove of the other, from whom they receive lessons on
how to win a female heart. You can imagine the results no, trust
me, actually you cannot. As you no longer can see the live play,
you will have to read this to see what happens. This is a necessary
addition to the collection of any Marx Brothers fan. GROUCHO AND
JULIET A play starring Groucho Marx as Romeo; Chico and Harpo as
Juliet's parents; and Colombo the Medieval police detective who
investigates. Then add "The Dating Game, Italy 1340AD.
This play is a joint effort with Eugene O'Neill, we observe the
Arnold family as it slowly dissolves in shame, neglect, tragedy,
death and cucumber sandwiches with the crust left on. The searing
spiritual insights of O'Neill crash upon the garden party of
Wilde's characters and drown them. Never has such naked exposure of
the human soul been achieved over tea and finger sandwiches.
This play is the original source for the works of Stephen King. In
this joint effort with Mary shelley Victor Frankenstein Jr. returns
to his Father' estate, to b e confronted with ---the horror--- of a
servant shortage forced by this, he "plays God," creating a perfect
servant, who can serve tea and cucumber sandwiches, make witty
observations about society, and still terrorize the local serfs at
night. Actuallly, this monster/servant is not perfect because he
needs successive operations to give him a brain, a heart and some
courage. It's a WIZ of a play.
If you believe that Scrooge was visited by only four ghosts then
you have an enchanting surprise in store for you. Imagine NOT
December 26th, but December 27th How did Scrooge put into effect
his new found resolutions, and what happened when he did? Scrooge
and the Fifth Ghost is an entirely new, ingenious and hilarious
work that answers these questions... and a whole bunch more you
have never even imagined.
Imagine an ordinary life, neither very happy nor particularly
miserable until "a simple gift" changed everything. Now you are
never able to buy regular gasoline without paying high-test prices.
This happened to me, and I had to uncover the secret behind this
gypsy curse. This is my life... I hope it is never yours
