The Man from UFSTED is a hilarious end of the year play set against the backdrop of a farcical school inspection. The head and Deputy are quaking in their boots at the thought of a visit by the mysterious ‘Man from UFSTED’. When he eventually arrives, he is taken on a fantastical journey involving headlice, a streetwise Little Red Riding hood, a tale of WWII evacuees, the plight of the planet and various primary school teachers shirking sports day celebrations by hiding in a stock cupboard. The play has a master linking script and includes five mini plays as individual scenes, making it super easy to divide up and rehearse, and even trim or extend based upon your requirements. Lasting between 60 and 90 minutes and with lots of parts, ‘The Man from UFSTED’ will satisfy all your end of year dramatic requirements.

This parody of a great Victorian detective mystery is written in the style of a “Round the Horn” or “Goon Show” radio script. It works really well in an end of year review. It contains a few old jokes but it still makes me laugh! If the actors have good timing and can “over-act” it helps. Useful in the classroom as a resource for funny script writing or as a drama exercise.

There’s always some kind of election going on in the UK, albeit local, general, mayoral or X -factor vote. This play has lots of parts and whizzes through the history of parliament and the right to vote with lots of humour. Can be used as a sketch or assembly performance, or as part of a larger play. Could also be used as a resource in the classroom for a lesson on script writing.

This is a parody of a well known TV show where budding entrepreneurs squirm and grovel in front of miserly businessmen and women to fund their projects and inventions. Set in a school where several eccentric children enter the ‘den’ and ask for money for new toys. Lot of over acting and accents will really make this a comic hit. Can be used in the classroom, assembly hall, theatre or the back of a car on a long journey, or as an inspiration for comic script writing.

This historical 'mockumentary' sweeps humorously through technology and inventions of the modern(ish) age. It can be used as a stand alone fun drama or assembly, or possibly a teaching resource (you could print it out and do handwriting practice on the back!) There are loads of parts so it is useful for a class. Can be used in the assembly hall, theatre or classroom.

A parody of the famous scene from Shakespeare, originally performed directly after a performance of the original scene. Quite short and only has three parts, so you might want to combine it with other stuff. Does mention a grandma that buries bones though. Can be used in the classroom, assembly hall or theatre, or as an inspiration for humorous script writing in a lesson,

A short sketch originally written as an extra scene for an end of year six play. All about the experience of nits (something close to the heart of all schoolkids!) It works just as well stand alone for a bit of comedy and good fun, especially with the character of Matron who can be played as a pantomime dame. Can be used in the classroom, theatre or assembly hall, or as inspiration for comedy script writing in a lesson.

A short comic play about the novelty of the first Olympic games in Ancient Greece. Part of this play lends itself to a bit of movie making that you can insert into the performance. I did it in a speeded up 'Goodies/Benny Hill' seventies style that worked really well although you could do it as a black and white silent, or as live stage acting. The possibilities are endless and exciting!!! You could make a film out of the whole thing - and don't worry, all nakedness is heavily censored (which is more than can be said for Ancient Greek pottery!!) Could be used in the assembly hall, theatre or classroom, or as an inspiration for comic script writing. Enjoy.

A Christmas tale of extremely ungrateful and children who get taught a lesson at the hands of a reformed Ebeneezer Scrooge, with a good few laughs built in. Blackly humorous in the style of a revolting rhyme. There are two versions of this, the original rhyming couplet poem so that you can see and hear its rhythm and the scripted version that you can use for performance and allocating parts.

An epic tale of Ancient Greece. This has five scenes and almost constitutes a complete play. This is really funny and is a great excuse for going mental with costumes, scenery, music, sound effects and jokes about olives. Just make sure that you have a shed load of white bed sheets before you start! Can be used in class assemblies, in the theatre or as part of a comic end of year review, or, as an inspiration for script writing in the classroom. If you are studying Ancient Greece as a topic, this play is for you!

If you are doing WWII as a topic, you will look at evacuees at some point. This comic script depicts bizarre and eccentric villagers debating whether to take evacuees from the big City into their homes. A bit like 12 angry men, the whole lot are eventually brought round by the lone voice of sanity, the billeting officer. Set at Christmas but could be used any time. A good solo singer could make it really effective. This can be used as a class assembly, theatre sketch or as part of a larger review, or as a stimulus for your own classroom debate about evacuees.

This is a drama piece about the environmental destruction of our planet, with a few laughs and plenty of word puns of course! More of a long sketch than a short play. This could be used as part of a larger show or assembly that has the same theme or message, or, as inspiration for writing similar scripts in the classroom. The Mighty Little Play Store comic scripts are suitable for an upper key stage 2/key stage 3 cast. They have been successfully used in the classroom, assembly hall and theatre by schools and drama groups from around the world.

Written as a mock TV documentary with plenty of laughs but lots of real factual information about Christmas traditions. With the addition of some simple costumes and some songs/music this one proved a real hit with kids, parents, teachers and several pigeons! Can be used in a Christmas show or class assembly, or as a stimulus for writing humorous play scripts.

Playscript. There have been many alternatives to the Little Red Riding story, and quite a few with a tough, no-nonsense main character. This one worked really well in an end of year review and got loads of laughs. The Grandma and woodcutter characters were very popular. Comes with character list for all fifteen parts. Performance licence and photocopying permission included in the price. The Mighty Little Play Store comic scripts are suitable for an upper key stage 2/key stage 3 cast.
