HILARIOUSLY FUNNY, FAST MOVING COMEDY THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE LOCAL LIBRARY
QUIET PLEASE is a humorous comedy originally written for a group of senior drama students who took out the prize at the plays very first production, at the Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod in Queensland.
The 17 characters in the play offer great diversity, allowing the actors to build strong, exaggerated and contrasting personalities. For this reason, the play is also ideal as a workshop for drama students. It offers excellent exposure to characterisation and can be used as a unit for character building.

A QUIET EVENING IN FRONT OF THE TELEVISION TURNS INTO A FARCICAL FAMILY FIASCO
A one act play that incorporates three TV programs ‘Solve My Problem’ – ‘The Six O’Clock News’ – ‘This is Your Wife’
As a resource, the three sketches within the play can provide a fun way to introduce segment scripting to Drama and English students. The sketches are short enough to be presented as class pieces, allowing several student groups to give their own interpretation of the various characters.
